Latest reviews on Almunecar's beaches

Cantarrijan Beach
6 Arie Boer

This place is a typical Spanish family spot, but there's a second area that's more secluded and nudist. The food is alright, but it's overpriced for the location. When the wind isn't blowing, the snorkeling is alright, but don't expect to see a lot of fish.

This beach has a nice mix of sand and pebbles, and offers plenty of lounge rentals for 10 euros (cash only) which includes two chairs and an umbrella. Additionally, there are small beach bars where you can purchase drinks to enjoy on your lounges.

Herradura Beach
8 Tyler Smith

Ah, the beach! What can I say? It's a stunning little village right by the ocean. There's a great mix of locals and tourists, plus plenty of places to eat. From tasty to downright delicious, you can't go wrong. The local restaurants offer the best service, with a friendly and fun atmosphere. As for the fancier places, they're alright, I guess. But if you're looking for a place to stay, La Pension has great value for money - probably the best in Europe! And of course, the chiringuitos are all fantastic. My personal favourites are Bueno and Joaquin. For football and a chat, head to El Salon. There's also a hidden gem whose name I can't remember, but it starts with a C. All in all, just enjoy the place and talk to everyone!😜❤️

Calas Torre del Pino
8 Jenna D.

I'd definitely recommend this beach if you're up for a bit of a challenge. The hike down is steep, but not too long, so make sure to wear your sneakers. The beach itself is beautiful and clear, but it's more rocks than sand, so keep that in mind. It's a great spot for snorkeling or sunbathing, and it's clothing optional, so you may see nude people around, but there's plenty of space to have your own area. Just be sure to come prepared, as there are no restaurants or bathrooms. The parking is also quite tight, so it can be a bit nerve-wracking. All in all, if you're willing to put in the effort, it's totally worth it!

Playa Marina del Este
8 Heather Parker

This place is an ideal spot for diving, boasting some of the best views on the southern coast of Spain. However, it's not the best place to relax and soak up some sun as the sand is filled with small and large stones, both on the beach and in the water. Nevertheless, the stroll from the beach's parking lot to the harbour is a pleasant one, with a stony path leading to a lovely balcony where you can take in the sights. The harbour itself is also worth a visit, with its selection of restaurants and shops.

Playa de Velilla
6 Hannah Thompson

I absolutely adore Almuñécar - it's such an incredible place with friendly locals and plenty of shops to keep you content and your fridge stocked. During the summer, there are many bars along the beach, however, that number dwindles during the winter months.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 29.1°C and the water temperature up to 24.4°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 12.4°C and the water temperature down to 15.7°C.
