By car

This is, without a doubt, the most comfortable and flexible option. If you are coming from the north or south, the Mediterranean Highway (A-7) is your best ally. You must take exit 520, which will indicate 'Vera/Garrucha'. Once on the A-352 road, which connects Vera with the coast, the signs to the Vera beach are clear. The advantage of arriving by car is the freedom of movement and the ease of exploring the surroundings. Furthermore, Playa de El Playazo has extensive free parking areas nearby, which is a great plus, especially in high season.

• Región de Murcia International Airport (RMU): Located about 140 kilometers away. It also offers good road connections.
• Alicante Airport (ALC): A bit further away, about 200 kilometers, but with a greater offer of international flights.

By bus

The Vera bus station has connections with various Spanish cities. Once in the town of Vera, you can take a local bus that will take you directly to the beach area, or a taxi, which will drop you off at the door of your accommodation or at the point on the beach you desire. It is an economical and sustainable option to reach the Almería coast.

The sand and the water

When we talk about Playa de El Playazo, the quality of its sand and the transparency of its waters are two of its most outstanding attributes, which we greatly value. We find ourselves in an idyllic setting that invites maximum enjoyment.

The sand: a golden blanket under our feet

The sand of Playa de El Playazo is, simply, spectacular. Of fine type and with a golden tone that shines under the Almerian sun, it is a true pleasure for the senses. Walking barefoot on it is an experience we highly recommend; its softness is such that it seems to caress the feet with every step. It is the perfect ground for building sandcastles with children, for spreading out a towel and immersing yourself in reading a good book, or simply for feeling the warmth of the earth under your body while tanning. The width of the sandy area guarantees that, even on the busiest days, we will always find our own corner of tranquility.

The water: a crystal-clear embrace of the Mediterranean

The waters of this Vera beach are, without exaggeration, a marvel. We were surprised by their crystal-clear clarity and cleanliness, which is endorsed by the constant presence of the Blue Flag, a mark of environmental quality. They are generally calm waters, with very gentle waves, making them an exceptionally safe place for bathing for all ages, especially for families with young children. The shallow depth near the shore allows the little ones to splash and play in complete safety, while adults can enjoy long and relaxing swims.

The water temperature is another of its great advantages. From late spring until well into autumn, the Mediterranean gives us warm and pleasant waters that invite us to dive in without hesitation. It is the perfect contrast to the heat of the sun, offering a revitalizing refreshment that allows us to spend hours enjoying the sea without feeling cold. We, who have visited many beaches, can assure you that the combination of the fine sand and the serene waters of Playa de El Playazo creates an atmosphere of peace and b
