Beaches of Salobreña - Facilities, Parking and Places to Eat

Almost all the charming beaches of Salobreña are unspoiled by built-up areas. Its 6 km of coastline offer beautiful, quiet coves and some larger beaches with very good facilities.


The chiringuitos (beach bars) on the seafront prepare delicious sardines, octopus and grilled squid.

Opposite the promenade, on the beach of La Guardia, there is a protected area that has managed to regenerate the seabed and make these waters home again to their traditional marine species.

Salobreña has 5 beaches:

• La Guardia Beach and Salomar beaches are for people who are looking for a place with all the facilities and places to eat.

• Punta del Río beach are for those who want to practise water sports.

• El Caletón Beach is a cove with easy access not far from la Guardia Beach (where you can take a shower and eat).

• Cambrón Beach is a rocky cove with difficult access. Its for for people who like snorkeling. No facilities or restaurants.
