Escombreras islet. Currently -not shown in this picture- a breakwater hooks around the north side of the island

Escombreras is an islet at the mouth of Cartagena's port, in Spain's Region of Murcia. Since 2011 a breakwater built for the expansion of Cartagena's port[1] hooks around the north side of the island, but does not connect to it.[2]

The steep islet covers 4 hectares. An anchorage and lighthouse (built in 1864[3] at 65 metres above sea level)[4] are present, but there is no permanent human habitation.

Archeological remains from the Greek and Roman periods have been found on the islet.

The islet is included within a natural park.
