The Maro-Cerro Gordo Natural Area between Nerja and Almuñécar combines cliffs and coves in a protected setting. Start with the Maro and Las Alberquillas beach pages. Cabopino offers a different natural feature: protected dunes beside a broader beach.
Protected areas have rules
Use marked paths, protect vegetation and check current activity restrictions. At Artola, stay on the dune boardwalks. An attractive picture says little about access or facilities.
Cove or open beach?
Coves may have less space and more demanding access. Cabopino is useful for comparing an open beach with a protected dune system. Bring water and check sea conditions.
Beaches to compare
Check each beach page for access, map and facilities. Confirm seasonal information before travelling.
