Calblanque is the virgin Mediterranean coast between Cabo de Palos and Portmán, within a regional park. Playa de Calblanque is the sandy bay to the east of the point, with clean water, dunes and mountains behind. It is a wave spot for experienced riders. With Levante, from the east-northeast, the wind comes in side-shore with a clean wave. With Lebeche and Poniente the most powerful waves in the area are formed, with current and a rocky shore: for experts only. Suitable for kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf. There are no services or lifeguards outside of summer: do not go out alone. In summer the park limits car access and there is a shuttle bus, so the best conditions are out of season. Respect the dunes and do not leave anything in the car. Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
