Latest reviews on Motril's beaches

Playa Carchuna
8 Luke Anderson

The beach was far from ideal - a dirty, rocky shoreline in a heavily commercialized area. It's not somewhere I'd ever want to visit again.

Playa de Torrenueva Costa
8 Kaiyo Barreras

This spot is a true piece of paradise - a place of breathtaking beauty, with a stunning view, perfect for a romantic getaway or a fun family vacation. The sand is soft and warm, while the water is crystal clear and inviting. Wildlife abounds, with birds and other animals making their home here. It's a place of relaxation, a place to forget the worries of the world and just enjoy the serenity of nature.

Almunecar beach
8 Larissa

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.

Playas de Salobrena

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.

Cotobro
8 Sofia Ramirez

This spot is definitely something special, particularly because of its promenade that leads to the next beach. I'm absolutely in love with it! It has a Chinese vibe, but unfortunately, the parking spots are limited.
