Hiring a boat in Vera
Vera Playa is a strip of urbanisations and sandy beaches between Garrucha and Villaricos, with no harbour: the Google Maps register returns no boat rental companies based in the municipality. The nearest are in Garrucha, 8 km away, with 8 companies in the fishing and leisure harbour, and in Carboneras, 28 km, with 10. From Garrucha, the Vera and Villaricos beaches are under 3 miles north, and Mojácar to the south.
The season runs from April to October, with companies open all year in Garrucha thanks to the climate of the Almería levante. It is open coast with a calm sea in the morning; on a strong levante nobody goes out. Behind the beach, Vera has Spain's largest naturist resort and the Terreros salt pans to the north; from the water you can clearly see the change from Vera's sand to the dark rock of Villaricos.
