Playa de la Guardia

This 1100-meter stretch of coastline features dark sand and gravel shores bordered by sugar cane plantations along the Costa Tropical of Granada.

The beach marks the location where ancient Phoenician traders established maritime routes for sugar cane transportation between North Africa and Southern Spain.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Playa de la Guardia, using small boats to catch sardines and anchovies throughout the year.

The beach provides 100 parking spaces, rentable sunbeds, showers, and direct access from the N-340 highway connecting Salobreña to neighboring coastal towns.

The U-shaped bay contains natural rock formations that separate it from Salobreña Beach, creating distinct swimming zones with moderate wave patterns.
