Playa de Velilla, Mediterranean beach in Almuñécar, Spain
Playa de Velilla spreads along the Costa Tropical shoreline with dark sand mixed with pebbles covering its width. The water approaches gradually, making entry comfortable for swimmers of different abilities.
The area served as an important harbor during ancient Phoenician and Roman times. These early trading connections shaped the region and influenced its development over many centuries.
The beachfront hosts several restaurants where you can taste regional Andalusian food while watching the sea. Local fishermen work along the shore, keeping traditional practices visible to visitors who pass by.
The beach provides specialized equipment like amphibious chairs for visitors with reduced mobility. Parking is readily available nearby, making access straightforward for everyone.
The western section hosts the AquaTropic water park with slides and pools directly beside the Mediterranean. Visitors can enjoy both traditional beach swimming and modern water attractions in one location.
