If you want a beautiful beach with calmer waters , this is the place to go . We visited last week and it was a wonderful day out. It’s situated within a National Park about less then an an hour away from Malaga . Once you park your car, a little mini van takes you down to the beach - I think it’s a €3 return ticket per person .
It is also a nudist beach but there are quite a few people who are clothed! This did not bother us at all as there are plenty of sun beds and space for all . There are 2 restaurants which you can choose to have lunch in which we did . Quite reasonable too. We had Calamari, a lovely Avocado salad and some chips .
You can easily spend the whole day here relaxing . It’s a more laid back atmosphere.
The water is lovely - the only thing I’d say is there are lots of small stones so getting out of the water or into may hurt your feet a bit . Overall a must visit

A must visit if you are in Granada and want to enjoy a day at the beach
in a natural area under a cliff and a forest, that is nudist. There are signs on the road that say it. My friends and I went without knowing that it is nudist and we saw that everyone was naked, so we tried it and the experience is highly recommended. At first you think they are looking at you but the truth is that everyone is doing their own thing and you quickly forget about it. There are quite a few people but there is plenty of space. To say something about the people, mostly retired foreign couples, some families with children and young people too. The beach is made of stones but there are some spaces with stones piled up with sand just as you pass under a rock. The water is very clean and you can even see the fish. It doesn't have showers or anything but there are two restaurants on the beach next door although nudism is less practiced in that part. Looking at the sea there is a rock with an opening on the left and that area is more nudist. We liked the experience but there are people who come and leave even though there is a sign that says it is nudist.

Quiet nudist beach. A man invited my friend to leave, kindly and for obvious reasons, she did not take off her bikini bottoms. It is a beach with a nudist tradition for decades and they try to keep it that way, that's what he told us. There were young people and older foreigners too, some families with teenage children who made a fuss, but it's great to avoid them :). My group of friends went to try it for the first time and it was great. 100% recommended, yes in a nudist way!!!

If you like quiet, nature, walkingpaths and good food/drinks Beach Cantarrijan is your place. I loved it. It was a tip from a glamping owner in Cartama nearby Nerja where I stayed and I was eager to explore. I spend two full days at this beach. Walked the hills, eat good food, enjoyed the beauty.
It is within 10 minutes by car/taxi from Nerja where I stayed. It is totally surrounded by nature, has beach beds en two restaurants, all year all days open. On the left of the beach you can wal through the surfe to a next beach without restaurants and beds. More nudists there than on the main beach where you arrive from the road.

Do not forget your watershoes; pebble beaches just like the townbeach Carabeo (Nerja).

Crystal clear waters full of fish.. don't forget your sandals because the beach is made of stones. It is very worth it. A couple of beach bars and a minibus to go down every half hour since you can't go down by car. We had a great day!

Perfect place to spend a sunny day. Mainly nudist beach with a few clothed guests. Two nice restaurants. Book a table in advance on a Saturday or Sunday.
Crystal clear, but chilly, water is excellent for snorkelling.
Great beach chilled vibe.

Nice and well managed beach. It has parking next to the road and to access there is a permanent minibus transport service. Next to the shore there are 2 nice and clean beach bars that manage the sun loungers and offer bar service on the umbrella itself. Chiringuito Bola Marina the staff is very friendly and familiar.

We drove along next to the beach which appears quite pebbly and very short of shade.The row of high rise apartment and hotel blocks did not endear us so we chose to drive onby.

Great place to spend a few hours by the sea. There are 2 restaurants serving some great food right on the beach. You need to take the bus down from the car park in the summer months at just 2 Euro return unless you feel energetic to walk.
This is a clothes optional beach if you fancy an all over tan.
