Burriana Beach, Sand beach in Málaga Province, Spain

Burriana Beach is a sand beach at the southeastern edge of Nerja, in Málaga province, Spain. It is about 800 metres long and 40 metres wide, the largest urban beach in Nerja, with fine golden sand and a seafront promenade lined with shops, bars and restaurants. Two main entrances lead in, from Calle Filipinas and from Camino de Burriana.

Burriana Beach lies southeast of Nerja in Málaga province and is the town's largest urban beach, about 800 m long and 40 m wide. It is reached by Calle Filipinas and the Camino de Burriana, on foot from the centre or by bus line 1. The seafront promenade has shops, bars and restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood, rest areas, showers and services for people with reduced mobility.

The name Burriana likely comes from an old Arabic or Valencian place name, and locals still use it naturally in everyday speech. Early in the morning, small fishing boats can sometimes be seen near the shore, a reminder of how closely the coastal community has always lived alongside the sea.

Arriving early in the morning is a good idea, especially in summer, to find a comfortable spot before the beach fills up. The rocky areas at the edges are worth exploring on foot, though solid shoes make it easier to move around there.

At low tide, the rocky edges of the beach reveal small crabs and shells tucked into crevices, making that part of the shore surprisingly interesting to explore. These same rocks also offer an unexpected vantage point from which the whole beach looks quite different.
