Information

Playa de las Cañas is a beautiful and peaceful beach located in the Elviria area of Marbella, approximately 8 km from the city center. This beach is appreciated for its tranquil atmosphere and clean waters, making it a nice spot to enjoy the sun and relax. Visitors often highlight the ease of access with wooden pathways leading through the dunes, allowing for minimal environmental impact.

However, there are also some downsides. The beach has a narrow entrance filled with rocks, which can make it unsuitable for children and uncomfortable for swimming unless you wear special shoes. Additionally, some guests have reported issues with litter and maintaining the cleanliness of the surroundings, as well as occasional disturbances from local wildlife, such as a group of wild boars. The beach is also known for having limited amenities, with outdated sunbeds and few food options nearby.

Overall, Playa de las Cañas offers a unique blend of natural beauty and serene atmosphere, though visitors should be aware of its limitations.

Fantastic experience: Wild beach, great place for naturists, lots of dunes where you can spread out with a towel. It's best to go by bus because the parking is very tight. Watch out for the wild boars that roam in the bushes.

Positive experience: The beach is nice, there are umbrellas by the bar (€8.5/day), but the shower is not working. The entry into the water is full of stones and shallow, so we were scraped to the blood in no time. However, just move a few meters to the left where there is sand and stones at a greater depth. The positive is that there are few people and free parking is okay.

Negative experience: Playa bonita, de fácil acceso , pero agua sucia , y lo que parecen tapas de alcantarilla o servicio de desagües en la orilla , el agua huele mal , no descartaría vertidos de alcantarillado.

Positive experience: La Playa de las Cañas está en la zona de Elviria que pertenece a Marbella, a unos 8 km del centro de la ciudad. Es que el término municipal de Marbella es grande. La playa tiene piedra, el agua es limpia y fresca El entorno debe mejorar, está un poco abandonado a su suerte, falta de limpieza y mantenimiento municipal La playa cuenta con hamacas de alquiler, aunque viejas y desgastadas, que están sobre la arena y no tienen un buen mantenimiento Hay un bar chiringuito junto a la playa donde comer o tomar algo Los fines de semana se llena de gente de pueblo

Positive experience: Playa de arena fina y fácil acceso, hay diferentes sitios por los que se puede acceder entre las dunas por medio de un camino de madera para no deteriorar el entorno. La playa la limpian todas las mañanas con un tractor y sucia no está, pero hay muchas colillas de cigarrillos Por la mañana mucha gente con perro SUELTO que si estás tranquilo en tu toalla, tienes que aguantar que alguno pase por encima como hace unos minutos me acaba de pasar. Hay duchas y algún chiringuito

Positive experience: Buena playa, agradable. Con rocas dentro del agua pero no fuera. Tiene un chiringuito al lado como para comprar cervecita y agua y con buena pinta para comer pero no lo he probado.

Negative experience: Apparently, it's a nice beach, as there aren't many people (considering we visited Marbella during peak season). It's a beach with quite uncomfortable rocks to get into the sea; if you don't have water shoes, it's a bit complicated. Moreover, you have to go quite far for it to cover a little. All of this is irrelevant compared to the scare we had at this beach with a GROUP OF WILD BOARS (about 7) that came to our towel, broke our shoes, cigarettes, and other things we had on the towel. They rushed down quickly, and when we realized it, they were right over us. Especially because of the scare, I think it's something very important that people visiting this beach should know, because it can be really dangerous.

Positive experience: The beach is pretty narrow, there isn't much space and there are a lot of rocks at the entrance to the sea, so it's not really suitable for kids.
