Hotels near Playa de Nerja
Camino de Burriana, Nerja, Spain
Playa de Nerja runs directly below the famous Balcon de Europa (Nerja's cliff-top viewpoint promenade) and is the most atmospheric town beach in the province - a narrow cove with clear water, surrounded by white-painted buildings, and backed by the cliffs that give Nerja its dramatic setting. It's considerably smaller than Burriana (about 200 metres) but its position - enclosed by headlands, sheltered, and close to the town's restaurants and cafes - makes it the most pleasant for an evening swim after a day of sightseeing.
Access is via steps from the Balcon de Europa promenade (Calle Balcon de Europa, Nerja) or by the path from the eastern end of Calle Pintada. The beach has sunlounger hire and a small beach bar, and it holds a Blue Flag designation. It fills up by 11 AM in summer - arrive early for a good position.
Pro Tip: Swim here at dusk (7-8 PM in summer) when the day-trippers have left and the water is at its warmest from a day of sun. The view looking up at the Balcon de Europa lit in the evening from the water below is one of the most characteristic views on the Costa del Sol.
