Bordenares

Bordenares lies on the Almería coast south of Mojácar, reached by the coastal road and then short sandy tracks to the shore. The final approach is on foot over sand and uneven ground, so sturdy footwear for the walk and light gear for the beach are practical. Parking is informal in dirt areas or along the roadside near the access points and can be limited on summer weekends, often requiring a short walk to the water. There is no direct public transport to the beach itself; buses serve Mojácar and the surrounding area, with the last leg by car, taxi or bicycle. The beach is sandy and open, with little natural shade and no permanent shade structures, so bring water, sun protection and a wind shelter if you plan to stay. No reliable toilets, showers, food vendors or lifeguard service are expected on site, and visitors should be self-sufficient and check sea conditions before swimming. The Mediterranean here is generally calm in settled summer weather, but wind can create chop and currents that change through the day. The best period for swimming and sunbathing is typically June through September, when the sea is warmest and days are long and dry. Mornings and late afternoons offer milder sun and often lighter winds, while midday brings strong UV and high heat on the open sand. As the beach is largely undeveloped, take all rubbish with you and use services in Mojácar for supplies, meals and facilities before or after your visit. No admission fee or gated entry is expected, and access is generally possible throughout the day with respect for signage and private land. Families and mixed groups do use the shore, but the lack of supervision and facilities calls for extra care, especially with children. Plan for a stay of a few hours rather than a full serviced beach day.
