Getting there

Walking

From the main beach area of Catalan Bay, head towards the main road (Catalan Bay Road). Walk along the road in the direction of Gibraltar town. Continue straight until you reach the bus stop near the entrance of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve. The reserve is well-signposted, and you can follow the signs from the bus stop. The entrance is just a short walk from there.

Walking

If you are at the Catalan Bay Hotel, exit the hotel and turn right onto the main road. Follow the road until you see a sign for the Gibraltar Nature Reserve. It will take approximately 20 minutes to walk there. The entrance is located near the top of the hill, so be prepared for a slight incline.

Walking

From the Catalan Bay Community Centre, head back towards the beach and then take the path that leads up the hill towards the main road. Once you reach the main road, turn left and follow it. The Gibraltar Nature Reserve will be on your right side after about a 15-minute walk.
