One of 33 beaches which are to be found along the 35-kilometre coastline of Mazarrón between the municipalities of Cartagena and Lorca, Playa Cueva de Lobos is a designated nudist beach in the run along the coastal track which winds along the coast from Bolnuevo through the Sierra de Moreras to Puntas de Calnegre for 12 kilometres.
The beach is long and thin, measuring 90 metres by 16 metres and has very little in the way of sand. It is mostly covered in pebbles and posidonia seagrass, of which there are large meadows just offshore, preventing erosion and providing an important habitat for marine life.
There are some patches of rough, grey sand, but the beach is predominantly pebbles.
This is the nearest nudist beach to the parking area in Bolnuevo, but is still a good walk from the car park next to Playa Rincón.
This beach is designated as a nudist/naturist beach, and there are no services.
The run of wild beaches in Mazarrón
Mazarrón is blessed with an extraordinary range of beaches, with everything from wide sandy urban beaches with a full list of catered services to rocky coves, dog beaches, nudist beaches and long wild swathes of sand.
Between Bolnuevo and Percheles the coast is wild and stunning, and the run of beaches from be accessed only via a rough dirt track on foot or by bicycle, with a succession of secluded bays. From 1st July 2017 most of the track has been closed to motor vehicles and the only access is via cycle or on foot.
If you love natural, beautiful places, this is for you, but there’s not a beachcomber for miles around and you won’t find anyone selling ice lollies!
None of these beaches are equipped with special disabled access, although once the coastline reaches Percheles and Cañada de Gallego it is possible to walk out of the car and straight onto the sand/shingle. Here the coastline is accessed from a rough, bumpy road which runs along for around 12 kilometres.
If you’re the type of person who loves to get away from the crowds and appreciates wild beauty, then you’ll love this stretch and never want to go anywhere else.
The stunning scenery is peppered with abandoned ruins, and there is a huge choice of rocky bays, sandy coves, and secluded corners to bathe privately, even in the busy summer period.
The area is favoured by naturist bathing, so it’s not uncommon to see the odd gleaming bronzed buttock or two, and a couple of the nudist beaches are also very popular with the gay community. But the area is so large that it is always possible to steer away if you choose: you can stop anywhere and be as private, or as public, as you want.
There are absolutely no facilities, so bring everything and remember to take litter home.
It’s also very popular with local cyclists, especially the mountain-bikers, and walkers have many options, particularly on a summer evening with stunning views and sea breezes.
Access
From Bolnuevo, drive along the seafront, past the wind-eroded rocks to the end of the road next to Playa del Rincón, where limited parking is available. From here, the beaches can only be accessed on foot or by bicycle.
From Puntas de Calnegre and Cañada de Gallego, just keep the sea on your right! There are many dust tracks from the road and the tomato plantations to the coast.
