About Playa del Cuartel del Ciscar
The Cuartel del Ciscar cove is a tiny beach, only about 20 m long and 4 m deep, of gravel and dark sand. It lies on the wild coast of the Cabo Cope-Puntas de Calnegre regional park in Lorca, Murcia. It takes its name from an old coastal guard post (cuartel) on the shore. FEN lists it as a nude-tradition spot. With room for only a handful of people and no development of any kind, it is a place for solitude rather than a day of facilities. The sea has a moderate swell. There are no services. Note: the Spanish Naturist Federation is the only source we found that reports nude bathing here, and other guides do not mention it. Nude use may be occasional or limited to the quieter end, so expect most visitors to be clothed and check on arrival.
Getting there
Reach it on foot along the coast from Puntas de Calnegre. A circular walking route of about 12 km starts at the village's municipal hostel and passes the Baño de las Mujeres and El Siscal coves before reaching the cuartel. Dirt tracks also run close by. There is no shade, so carry water.
Legal context
Spanish law does not prohibit public nudity, and FEN notes that nudism is legal on any Spanish beach; this beach is on FEN's list of beaches with a traditional nude use. Regional-park rules apply to vehicles and camping; no nudity restriction is known (2026).
Naturism at Playa del Cuartel del Ciscar sits under Spain's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
