Burriana beach is a large, sandy beach on the east side of Nerja. This lovely stretch of sand is accompanied by a seafront promenade and a wide selection of bars and restaurants. You’ll also find several souvenir shops, luxury beach loungers and plenty in the way of water sports and activities.

Because of its excellent facilities, Burriana beach is a firm favourite with tourists both foreign and Spanish. Although only 15 minutes walk from Nerja town centre, Burriana beach almost feels like a separate village or resort. Beach goers will find everything they need here, and for explorers, Burriana offers a great base to enjoy Nerja and the surrounding Axarquia region.
