Cantarrijan Beach
7 Unknown user

Great clear water, left side after the cliff is more nude than right side,near the two bar/restaurants where the food is quite good but they get very busy and service is not fast. In july had a few jellyfish in the sea. Need to park above and pay a couple euros per person to take bus up/down to the beach. the pebbles are soft enough to plant an umbrella.

Burriana Beach
8 Jalen H

This spot is definitely worth the trip from Malaga city or the outskirts. Once you arrive, you can't help but be mesmerized by the stunning views, the warm sun, and the sand between your toes. The water is so refreshing, you won't want to leave! huge and there are plenty of places to rent sunbeds, cabanas, and even tents right on the beach. There are lots of restaurants and bars offering drinks, snacks, and meals to keep you hydrated throughout your visit. When the weather is nice, try out some of the water activities they offer like kayaking, snorkeling, and more - all for a great price of just 10 euros!

Calahonda Beach

I would say this is the best beach out of all the ones nearby.

Playa la Caletilla
8 Troy Givens

La Caletilla is a petite beach, measuring no more than 50m long and 15m deep, situated to the west of the Balcón de Europa in Nerja. On occasion, the weather can be so extreme that the beach vanishes altogether. Yet, despite its size and the occasional disappearance, La Caletilla is easy to access and well worth a visit.

Almunecar beach

This beach has a nice mix of sand and pebbles, and offers plenty of lounge rentals for 10 euros (cash only) which includes two chairs and an umbrella. Additionally, there are small beach bars where you can purchase drinks to enjoy on your lounges.
