La Rijana Beach
Information
Playa La Rijana is a beautiful beach located in the Costa Tropical of Granada, known for its crystalline turquoise waters and picturesque landscapes. Many users describe it as a paradise, perfect for snorkeling and enjoying marine life. The beach is often praised for its tranquility and cleanliness, making it a favorite spot for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
However, there are some drawbacks noted by visitors. Occasionally, jellyfish can be present in the water, and the beach is made of stones, which can be uncomfortable for walking barefoot. Access to the beach involves a steep incline, and while there is limited parking available, it can fill up quickly.
Despite these challenges, many users express their desire to return, citing the charming chiringuito (beach bar) where they can enjoy food and drinks. Overall, Playa La Rijana offers a beautiful escape, but prepare for some logistical challenges.

Negative experience: We went at 11 in the morning and there were already quite a few cars, but we found it easy to park. You go down a path to reach the beach (less than 5 minutes). For us, it was somewhat overrated; the water is very clean, but it's not a wonder of a beach. If you're far away, the trip is not worth it.
Positive experience: A spectacular place that gets too crowded in the summer, steep climb to access and leave the cove, and it can only be reached on foot. The beach bar is usually very expensive and has bad food.
Fantastic experience: One of my favorite coves, there is enough parking if you go in the morning and it's not very crowded inside!
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, the access is somewhat complicated, there is parking for disabled people but a disabled person will never be able to access that beach! The beach itself is beautiful, the only thing is that it was a bit dirty and there were jellyfish just today. There is a very pleasant beach bar with nice shade, sandwiches, soups, cold coffee, and beer ❤️
Negative experience: The beach is great, but its maintenance is not. Lots of trash, people breaking branches from the only tree on the left side of the beach to make a fire and spend the night, washing dishes by the shore, etc. The beach rules state that dogs are not allowed. However, it is those beasts that destroy the place who should not enter.

Positive experience: Muy mal acceso,pero aguas claritas y arena
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, only pebbles and no sand
Fantastic experience: La mejor playa/cala que pude visitar en Granada, Agua azul turquesa y tranquila, de piedras... recomendable aquashoes. Fácil acceso, tiene un parking, aunque para no muchos coches, hay que ir temprano, y ojo con el giro prohibido si vienes desde el oeste, hay veces que está la policía multando. Tiene un chiringuito de playa y se pueden alquilar tumbonas.
Positive experience: Playa muy bonita de piedras y onda "no tiene duchas" y cuando fuimos había muchísimas medusas es una playa pequeña, pero aún que parezca bastante mala por la descripción no está mal.
Fantastic experience: Una de mis playas favoritas, agua turquesa, cristalina, sin invasión de algas, ni medusas, con peces preciosos (Antes de ir mirar en cualquier app si hay medusas, algas y marea, yo todas las veces que he ido ha sido perfecto). Tiene un chiringuito, hamacas, salidas con kayaks, paddle surf… No dispone de duchas, si lleváis botellas en vez de tirarlas rellenarlas con agua para poder quitaros la arena de los pies antes de subir al coche (aunque no hay mucha arena, es más de piedras).

Positive experience: Sunbed 10 euros, is that the price??? Or because we are French... beach difficult to reach the end, pebble beach. No bar or restaurant.

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, only pebbles and no sand
Fantastic experience: Magnificent, beautiful beach, a must-visit!

Fantastic experience: My favorite beach for diving, the bad thing is that sometimes there are jellyfish, but not always.
Negative experience: We went at 11 in the morning and there were already quite a few cars, but we found it easy to park. You go down a path to reach the beach (less than 5 minutes). For us, it was somewhat overrated; the water is very clean, but it's not a wonder of a beach. If you're far away, the trip is not worth it.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful.
Fantastic experience: I will repeat as long as I am breathing.
Fantastic experience: It's the one from the song by Saiko
Fantastic experience: Incredible place
Fantastic experience: Perfect beach and crystal clear water
Fantastic experience: Small beach, the water is clear, there were no jellyfish or seaweed. There are not many people, but they are 5 meters away ) but it is true that it is May and Wednesday. A downside is that the beach has pebbles. It is difficult to walk barefoot, especially on hot stones.
Positive experience: Stunning.
Fantastic experience: My favorite cove without a doubt
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach with crystal clear and turquoise waters on the Tropical Coast of Granada, ideal for snorkeling and seeing marine life.
Positive experience: A spectacular place that gets too crowded in the summer, steep climb to access and leave the cove, and it can only be reached on foot. The beach bar is usually very expensive and has bad food.
Fantastic experience: Peace

Negative experience: The beach is amazing but this review is about the police who wait in the parking lot and ticket anyone that turns left into the parking lot for 200€. It's a continuous line instead of a segmented line so it's an illegal turn but it is very easy to do since there are no signs declaring the turn illegal. If you are coming from the west and see Police in the parking lot do not turn left. Continue straight and turn around further along the road.
