El Chorrillo Beach

Playa El Chorrillo is made up of several small coves located beneath the cliffs in the centre of Nerja, between Calahonda and Carabeo. Its rocky landscape, clear waters and somewhat hidden location give it a more natural and secluded character.

The Playa El Chorrillo is made up of several small coves located beneath the cliffs in the centre of Nerja, between Calahonda and Carabeo. Its rocky landscape, clear waters and somewhat hidden location give it a more natural and secluded character.

The rocks that separate its different sections create little corners where you can rest, swim or explore the coast with snorkelling goggles. The available space can vary depending on the state of the sea, so the experience is very different from that of a wide, completely open urban beach.

El Chorrillo is an interesting option for those who enjoy discovering discreet and less obvious places. Its proximity to the Balcón de Europa makes it easy to include in a tour of the historic centre and to admire it from different viewpoints before heading down to the sea.
