Águilas, the southernmost town in the region, stands on a strip of coast 35 km long, under the attractive dominion of the Castle of San Juan de las Águilas. On the coast visitors will find a number of attractive coves and rocks that rise up out of the sea, along with sandy expanses such as the beaches of Calarreona, Calabardina, Calacerrada, the beach of El Arroz or the beach of El Hornillo, where the stunning scenery is quite untouched. This municipal district has two protected areas of natural beauty: the Regional Park of Cabo Cope and the Protected Landscape of Cuatro Calas. All of this makes Águilas a unique destination for the enjoyment of water-sports, especially scuba diving, which visitors can practice at any of the specialized diving, canoeing, sailing and windsurfing facilities that exist throughout the district.
