🚗 Limited parking at the end of the access road — fills up quickly in summer.
📍 Open in Google MapsA hidden, dramatic beach between steep cliffs — one of the coast's most beautiful and relaxed spots.
Playa de Cantarriján lies tucked between tall cliffs on the border between the provinces of Málaga and Granada, and is one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole area. The clear, turquoise water and dramatic cliff backdrop make it an experience in itself.
The beach is reached via a winding road down from the main road, and parking is limited, so it's best to arrive early in summer. There's a small beach bar in season. The eastern end of the beach is traditionally a nudist beach.
