El Portús

El Portús sits on the Cartagena coast in Murcia, about an hour’s drive from Alicante airport. The public cove and adjoining stretches (often referred to locally with Cala Morena) have long been used for naturist swimming and sunbathing. This page is a beach guide, not a resort listing.

Campsite status (important)

The large beachfront campsite beside the cove was historically naturist under the Camping El Portús name. Regional press reported in April 2025 that the campsite ended its naturist era and later reopened as a textile site under the TAIGA Costa Cálida brand. Do not treat the campsite as a naturist holiday stay. Its current official site is elportus.com.

The beach

Naturist use continues on the public beach areas adjacent to the campsite, which is a separate question from how the campsite itself operates. Expect a mixed textile and naturist shore in busy months. Local reporting in 2025 also covered coexistence tensions on the beach after the campsite conversion, so etiquette and clear space matter more than ever.
