Cuevas beaches get lifeguards



The ayuntamiento of Cuevas del Almanzora has announced the services it is offering on its seventeen kilometres of beaches this year. The councillor responsible for the beaches, Jose Haro, announced the hiring of six lifeguards as well as the daily cleaning of the beaches by council employees and machinery. Showers and toilets have also been installed where possible and the wooden boardwalks on the beaches have been replaced.


Jose Haro also highlighted the fact that boardwalks have been placed as far as possible on the accesses to some of the coves that the coast of Cuevas boasts; coves such as Cala Cristal, Cala de las Cochas or PeƱon Corto, all virgin coves with difficult access but ideal for snorkelling or diving. If you do go to any of these coves take care with the abundant sea urchins as if you tread on one the walk back up the cliffs to the car can be rather painful, wear footwear into the water and whatever you do don't sit on one.
