About

Experience this spot in Torre del Mar. Great spot for scuba diving, kayaking, canoeing and supping. Torre del Mar is a coastal town located in the province of Málaga, Andalucía, in southern Spain. The town extends along a long sandy beach, which is surrounded by a beautiful promenade lined with palm trees, restaurants, and shops. The Mediterranean Sea provides a stunning backdrop to the town's coastline, which is a perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. Behind the town, there are extensive pine forests and rolling hills. The Sierra de Tejeda and Almijara Natural Park is just a short drive from Torre del Mar, offering breathtaking mountain views and a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife watching. Torre del Mar is situated in a fertile agricultural area, where you'll find vast fields of subtropical fruit and vegetables such as mangoes, avocados, and tomatoes. The area is also dotted with charming traditional villages such as Vélez-Málaga and Frigiliana, with whitewashed buildings and narrow streets that add to the area's picturesque scenery.

  • Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
  • Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
  • A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
