Playa Carabeillo, Sandy beach cove in Nerja, Spain
Playa Carabeillo is a small sandy cove in Nerja backed by steep cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation. The beach sits between two large rock formations that create natural boundaries separating it from nearby beaches.
This coastal cove was once part of a patrol route used by Spanish customs officers to monitor the shoreline. The area has maintained its basic character throughout the centuries.
Local residents regularly gather at the stone formations near the water's edge to practice traditional fishing techniques passed down through generations.
Access to the beach involves descending steep steps from Calle Carabeillo. Basic facilities like showers and lifeguard service are available during the summer season.
Two large rock formations completely frame this cove and create a sheltered, secluded spot. This natural separation makes it feel removed from the busier beaches nearby.
