Playa de Carchuna/Calahonda is a beach located on the southern coast of Spain. It's situated between the small towns of Carchuna and Calahonda, offering a laid-back vibe perfect for surfers looking to ride some waves away from the crowded spots. The beach is quite long and curves from east to south, which means you can find different conditions depending on the wind and swell direction.

The surf here is generally decent, with good right-handers breaking over a mix of boulders and sand. It works best with a southwest swell, but you can also catch waves from the east. This spot can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (about 0.3 meters), making it suitable for beginners looking to improve their skills. The waves can break left and right, giving surfers a bit of variety. For those planning a session, the best winds come from the northwest, and it works well at low, mid, and high tides.

Since it’s a lesser-known spot, it doesn’t get surfed all that much, making it a nice option for those looking to escape the busier beaches. Just remember that conditions can change, so it's always a good idea to check before heading out.
