Cala del Cañuelo

When we have visited it was not great. Sea was very wavy and dirty with algae. It was impossible to get in the sea to take a bath. Cannot recommend.

What a beautiful beach, warm crystal clear water. No access by car, you park on the top of the cliff, there are 2 shuttle buses take you down to the beach, at low price(cash). The road is narrow with lots of turns seems like you are in safari trip 😁, we loved the hole experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing small beach with mixture of small rocks and sand. The shore is sandy and very seclude, so great to stay with the kids. We were in September and it was very quiet and not crowded. You need to take a shuttle bus (only during the high season and the price is 2 eur per person for a return ticket) or walk pretty long distance to reach this beach.

Best place to snorkel in Nerja. We go here often to snorkel, its a nice hike back and forth with stunning views. It takes about 30min to walk down to the beach and close to an hour back up (with a toddler walking) so probably less with only adults. You can take the bus that goes frequently for 6€ pr person. But if you do you will miss the sunset and the quiet this beach has to offer. Be awere this is not a sand beach though, it’s pebbels. Bring bathing shoes. I recomend going here on a weekday.

Amazing beach with clear and clean water. We loved it. It’s a pebble beach and there are 2 chiringuitos. Secluded and far from everything (there’s nothing around and you can only get there with own transport), so you’re truly in the middle of nature. The beach was pretty full (end August) but it was still very calm and had a relaxing atmosphere. There were a few shuttle busses on the way down and 4 around 8:30-9:30PM when we were waiting in line to take it. It’s €2.25 per person round trip. Beware of jellyfishes at times. We also saw wild piggies :) Overall I don’t understand the complains. It was a great experience except when we waited 45 minutes for the shuttle bus, so if you don’t want to wait then make sure to leave earlier before 8PM.

I’ve been to many beaches all over the world, but this one has to be the best one ever. Such a beautiful beach with nice water. 👍👍

Cañuelo Playa is a fantastic beach in the nature reserve. Quiet, clean and unspoiled like the commercial beaches. Come early and enjoy a full day in the paradise. Be aware you will have to use a shuttle bus to access the beach since it’s protected from traffic.

Remote gorgeous beach - we went on saturday at 10.00 - enough parking places still - walked down (there is also a bus) - super pretty, we rented beds (12 euro for 2 beds + parasol) - 2 bars available (go to the big one, avoid the one at the entrance)
