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 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.
