Playa de Maro (El Playazo)

Playa de Maro, also known as El Playazo, lies by the small village of Maro and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the entire Costa del Sol. It sits within the Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo nature park, and the tall cliffs surrounding the bay give it a truly special, almost untouched feel.

The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling, and the beach is only a few minutes' drive from the Nerja Caves (Cueva de Nerja). Note that there are steps down to the beach, and that facilities are more limited than in Nerja itself.
