Playa Rocas del Cura, Sand beach in Mijas, Spain.
Playa Rocas del Cura is a sand beach near Mijas on Spain's southern coast, stretching about 300 meters. The shoreline alternates between soft sand and rocky areas, creating natural sections that give the beach a varied appearance.
This stretch of coast lies on the Costa del Sol, which grew from ancient fishing villages into a major Mediterranean destination. The region experienced centuries of settlement by different cultures and trade routes that shaped what you see today.
The restaurants nearby serve traditional Andalusian seafood prepared using Mediterranean recipes passed down through generations. You can experience how local coastal culture expresses itself through everyday dining.
The beach has essential facilities like sunbed rentals, showers, and several access points from nearby parking areas and the promenade. Visitors should explore the different entry points to find the spot that works best for their needs.
At low tide, small protected pools form along the rocky shoreline, creating alternative swimming spots. These natural rock pools offer visitors, especially those with children or who prefer calmer water, a special place to spend time.
