Fantastic experience: It was an anecdotal afternoon with a Romanian family who had lost their child in the sea (he was in the bathroom) and then the father got lost (he had gone for a run without realizing anything). The attention from Kiko the lifeguard was unmatched. It seemed like a hidden camera situation hahaha. We will definitely return. Eva and Elena.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Beach, Sunbeds 6 euros all day, access to toilets near by, shower on beach too, great for paddling, and swimming, but you do need feet protection, whilst in water.
Negative experience: beach with many stones and difficult access
Fantastic experience: Nice beach. New facilities. Clean. Easy access. Plenty of parking.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach with easy access to shops and restaurants

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Nerja, so much more activity and gorgeous town and fab beaches and plenty of restaurants
Fantastic experience: Prachtige marktplaats met cafeetje en terrasjes ook verschillende restaurants met een super keuken en vriendelijk ontvangst.
Fantastic experience: Schöner Strand mit Promenade und Restaurants!
Fantastic experience: Esta playa es cómoda para ir con coche. Suelen ir familias grandes, con carpas para echar el día. Hasta el verano pasado había tres chiringuitos, pero han cerrado todos porque el camino se vio muy afectado por el temporal y no lo han arreglado. Ahora es solo una dirección para los coches. La playa no es la más bonita de Nerja, pero si quieres comodidad de aparcar y estar cerca de la playa, es ideal.
Positive experience: Una playa espectacular, el agua cristalina, súper amplia, con un montón de chiringuitos, restaurantes y comercios , lo único la arena al principio negra algo de tierra , por lo demás muy bien recomendable totalmente.

Positive experience: Arena de piedra. Mucho oleaje, por lo menos cuando fuimos nosotros. Socorrista, aseos, tranquila, poco concurrida.
Negative experience: La playa tenía muchas piedras grandes y me hice hasta sangre en los pies es imposible meterse en esa playa no la recomiendo para nada Si vais llevar una botas de seguridad para bañarse
Positive experience: Consta de los servicios esenciales de playas (socorristas, duchas, paseo, restauración...) . Está menos masificada que la Torrecilla y es más larga. Es de piedras finas, aunque la entrada es de piedra más gorda, mezclada con arena y chino.

Negative experience: The showers have no water, incomprehensible in the middle of August; apparently, they won't have water in Nerja to pay for it. What a shame.
Fantastic experience: The water is very clean with some waves and plenty of sand, special attention to the beach entrance with a beautiful arch for photos.
Positive experience: Beautiful and good quality and services
Fantastic experience: Excellent Beach, Sunbeds 6 euros all day, access to toilets near by, shower on beach too, great for paddling, and swimming, but you do need feet protection, whilst in water.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed the morning when I visited. Very beautiful scenery and a quiet beach.

Fantastic experience: Great little beach with crystal clear water which everyone enjoyed snorkeling and swimming in. Shallow drop off too. Recommend some beach shoes to make walking over the pebbles a bit more comfortable.
Positive experience: Aguas cristalinas para hacer snorkel cerca de la orilla donde puedes ver diferentes especies de peces y turistas mamaos como piojos. Destacar el glamouroso puesto de Frigo, donde te meten una media de un euro más por cada helado (qué fresquito y rico el Twister !). Con los precios tachados en el cartoncillo. También puedes comprar tabaco y botellitas de whisky como en las tómbolas de escopetas de balines.
Fantastic experience: Best snorkeling ❤️
Positive experience: Simpática playa. Muchos días parece un lago. Snorkel en la zona de roca y a ver pececitos.
Fantastic experience: Playa de piedras. Agua cristalina. Ideal para hacer snorkel.

Fantastic experience: Buena playa, muy tranquila y de ambiente familiar. Escarpines obligatorios. (arena de chinitos y en la orilla hay piedras algo grandes) Pero si lo que buscas es una playa que en pleno agosto esté tranquila y no masificada es la única. Si llevas gafas de buceo puedes ver muchos peces.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful picturesque beaches with rocks and beautiful water, it's very pleasant to swim between the rocks, even if there is a small fear of crabs. This place has a lot of different spots with delicious food and restaurants, hotels, but honestly, there is usually nothing to do there, so staying overnight doesn’t make sense.

Positive experience: Lovely beach alongside Nerja. Clean large beach with clear water. Also a lovely place to visit and wander along the top of this and other beaches - you can walk for miles.
Positive experience: A pleasant walk along the beach from Nerja to Punta Lara. New benches and lots of lovely flowers and shrubs in bloom The addition of the bridge over "the river" makes a huge difference and the fact they have put in walkways with benches down each side up to the edge of town very pretty and much needed
