Sotillo, Castell de Ferro	Playa del Sotillo, Spain		Directions

This secluded, little-known nudist beach, not far from Torre Nueva is usually very quiet due to tricky access down a 500-metre stairway.

For those who prefer something a little more secluded check out nearby pretty Cala de la Rijana. This is a very popular spot with scuba-divers.

Located at the most eastern end of the Costa Tropical this urban beach is well maintained and quite popular with the Spanish in high season.
