View of Nerja

Highlight • Viewpoint

Everywhere you look, you can see the turquoise sea and impressive cliffs. Looking west you can see Nerja in the background and to the east the Cantarriján beach.

We really do not consider the way easy. The ascent to the very beautiful beach we stopped because we were not equipped for it. The way back on the steep concrete runway is then not so easy but feasible. Too bad.

Cantarriján Beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful beach surrounded by cliffs in the heart of the Acantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Area. The beach is made of small pebbles and not sand, so I recommend wearing booties. Keep in mind that the beach is nudist (but not very strict, there are people with and without clothes). There are one or two beach bars and parking.
