User reviews
"Carabeo Beach is tucked away from sight due to the cliffs that encircle it, however, it can be easily located by taking a stroll down Calle Carabeo from Nerja's center. To get to the beach, you'll have to descend a set of steep steps into a cove that is surrounded by towering rocks on either side."
Caroline Voyage
"Personally I consider this beach in Nerja to be the top choice. It's not too large, but the scenery is stunning. There are showers and bathrooms available, and if the weather permits, the best bet is to take a dip close to the rocks (Balcon de Europa direction) for a pleasant surprise. If you are in Nerja and you admire the ocean, this beach is a must-visit."
