Half an hour by car from Cartagena, Playa de Calblanque is part of a natural reserve, which, in 1987, was declared a protected zone for its abundance of fauna and flora. Seagulls and plovers coexist with rare forms of marine daisy and sea parsley. The waters are crystalline, the sand a golden ochre and rugged green hills frame the whole area. Most importantly, however, unlike many beaches on the Med, Calblanque is never full. (Be aware that there is no car access in July and August).
