If you’re looking for a fun way to cool down, why not try your hand at some watersports?

Taking a trip on the Tourist Train is a superb way to explore Nerja and is especially popular with younger children. It’s a great way to get your bearings, and even stops off at the famous Nerja Caves.

One of the most beautiful outdoor activities in the area (if not in the whole of Andalucia) is a sea kayaking trip from Nerja’s Burriana beach to neighbouring Maro. You pass through some of the most spectacular coastal scenery around, from Nerja's hidden beaches to turquoise water filled caves and huge waterfalls - kayaking doesn’t come much better than this!

This is probably the most popular beach in Nerja with every conceivable facility from watersports to children's play areas and volleyball nets. There is something for everyone. Lining the beachfront are traditional Spanish restaurants, while opposite there is a wealth of ice cream parlours, bars and bistros to choose from, some offering live music and flamenco shows.

This small, picturesque cove is located right in the centre of Nerja, dotted with traditional fisherman’s cottages built into the rugged sea-worn rocks. There’s a restaurant on the beach itself as well as easy access to an array of cafes, bars and restaurants in and around the famous Balcon de Europa.

Often mistaken as a private beach, this beach is located directly below the Balcon de Europa with access through the Hotel Balcon de Europa or via a walkway from the adjacent Calahonda Beach. There are plenty of places to eat and drink a short walk away, some with splendid sea views.

Located at the eastern end of Nerja, this beautiful sand and pebble coves is tucked away between Carabeo and Burriana beaches. Less touched by tourism, there are limited facilities and, with 117 steps down, it’s worth taking your own drinks and snacks! Due to the location and accessibility, this beach isn’t recommended for people with mobility difficulties or with children in pushchairs.

This sheltered sandy cove is located right in the heart of Nerja. There are sunbeds available and a kiosk serving drinks and snacks in high season. A wide selection of shops and eateries are also just a short walk from the resort centre.

Just over a mile in length, El Playazo Beach is the longest stretch of sand in Nerja. While relatively underdeveloped, sunbeds are available to hire and there are a handful of reasonably priced chiringuitos (beach bars) scattered along the beach.

Located close to the Balcon de Europa, this cosy beach is dotted with traditional fisherman’s cottages built into the rugged sea-worn rocks. Steps zigzag down to the beach and whilst there are no restaurants, there’s a drinks kiosk and the centre of the resort is just a short walk away.

This very long and wide beach with calm waters is ideal for leisurely walks or simply sunbathing. Its situated away from apartment buildings and easily accessible from the N340 road. Facilities are limited, although its proximity to resorts like Torrox Costa means plenty of places to eat and drink are just a short drive way. Alternatively, why not pack a picnic?

This is probably Nerja's second most popular beach, on the other side of town from Burriana Beach. It has been artificially widened to create a great beach for young children with shallow and generally calm water, and soft sand. Sunbeds and umbrellas can be hired here and there are 2 restaurants on the beach itself as well as several kiosks serving food and drink.
