We love this beach! It has long, clear water and rocky areas for fish spotting, so you have a bit of everything. Plus, it's much quieter and calmer than some of the other beaches in Nerja and the cost of hiring things like pedalos is cheaper. Plus, it has public free entry! This is the beach the locals use, which is a great indicator that it's a great spot.

Playa Playazo Rio Seco is a great spot to soak up the sun with its gray sand and crystal-clear waters. It's an easy walk into town and there are a couple of bars to enjoy a refreshing beverage. The popular Mauri bar/restaurant serves up delicious food, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

This peaceful little bar on the beach is nothing flashy, just a great quiet place with the waves lapping the shore about 20 feet away. The beach has gray sand and the bar prices are reasonable. It's a short walk from the main car park on the sea front and once you get there, you'll be in love with it.

This place is an ideal spot to spend a peaceful day - it's quiet, has a toilet and a lifeguard on site, and best of all, entry is free to the public!
