Bordenares is a picturesque beach located in Mojácar, a municipality in the province of Almería, Andalusia, Spain. It is known for its tranquil setting, with a length of 600 meters and a width of 15 meters, making it a relatively spacious beach. One of its defining features is its blend of volcanic rock and sand, creating a unique and beautiful landscape. The beach is also characterized by calm waters and golden sand, making it an attractive destination for beach-goers.
Despite its beauty, Bordenares is typically not crowded, even during the peak season. This is largely due to its isolated location and the somewhat difficult access. The beach can be reached via a 2-kilometer dirt track from the Torre del Pirulico, an access route that can be somewhat challenging but is manageable even with a small car. Despite the challenging access, the beach is easily accessible on foot, with the nearest road being AL-5105. However, it should be noted that there are no facilities for disabled individuals to access the beach.
Bordenares does not have any equipment or facilities on the beach itself, but there are amenities in the nearby area. These include public transportation options and a cafe with showers next to the toilets. Pets are also allowed on the beach outside of the bathing season. Additionally, there is an unguarded parking lot with fewer than 50 spaces available for visitors who wish to drive to the beach.
The beach is recognized by the Mojácar town hall as a naturist beach. This designation, coupled with the beach's clear waters and rocky areas, makes it a popular spot for snorkeling. One of the standout natural features at Bordenares is a rock formation that appears under the sea, which is often referred to as 'the Elephant' due to its distinctive shape.
Lastly, in case of emergencies, the nearest hospital to Bordenares beach is Hospital Inmaculada, located in Huércal-Overa.
