Playa de Castell de Ferro anchors the eastern stretch of Granada's Costa Tropical, presenting a distinct landscape of dark, polished pebbles. These stones, smoothed by countless tides, create a unique texture underfoot and contribute to the remarkable clarity of the Mediterranean waters. The beach is framed by the imposing Sierra de Lújar, offering a dramatic contrast between mountain and sea.
