Torrecilla beach is located at the western end of Nerja and would probably be described as Nerja’s ‘second’ beach in terms of faclities.
The beach is a regular recipient of the prestigious ‘Blue Flag’, issued by the European Union, and the ‘Q for Quality’ flag, issued by the Spanish authorities, and both can usually be seen fluttering at the end of the beach near the ruins of the old watchtower.
The beach is easily accessible, with points of entry at either end and three others at intervals in between.
The beach, which is sandy, is about 300 metres long and 40 metres wide.
There are two restaurants on the promenade itself, one at each end, both offering good quality food at reasonable prices.
Merendero Cobos has a barbecue where you can get some nice sardines on a stick – espetas de sardinas.
There are also many other restaurants within a short distance of the beach, especially around Plaza Fabrica de los Cangrejos.
