This beach called Zacatin is in the town of Calahonda. Once we leave Calahonda on the N-340 towards Almería, 2km from the town we find several coves with difficult access. Specifically, we have an area set up to park the car and walk down to the beach, if you venture down, take care of slipping on the sidewalk.
