Almerimar's Playa de Levante is a small sand and gravel cove next to the long breakwater that closes off Playa de Poniente, right on the edge of the Punta Entinas-Sabinar nature reserve: pine forest behind, no services on the shore and far fewer people than in the rest of Almerimar. It is the spot for days with strong Levante: guides recommend it because the breakwater protects the cove and the sea remains calmer. The wind enters parallel to the northern shore of the cove; you can also head out with Poniente, but waves break at the mouth of the cove. It is suitable for kitesurf, windsurf and wingfoil, and for SUP when the wind is light. Watch out for the breakwater: with Levante the drift carries you towards it, so it is advisable to head out with plenty of upwind margin. There are no showers, toilets or beach bars in the cove (the car park is about 300 m away). In summer, from 15 June to 15 September, the Almerimar beaches are buoyed for swimming and you cannot ride inside the buoys. Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
