What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de la Caleta de Maro is a small secluded beach of dark sand, surrounded by vegetation and set in a mountainous landscape protected as a Paraje Natural. Its 250 metres in length and 10 metres in width form a narrow strip, with low occupancy and moderate swell, and an anchorage area. Access on foot is easy from the N-340, with an interurban bus between Nerja and Motril 1 km away. The entry also notes summer supervision and the use of the anchorage, while Marina del Este appears as the associated marina.
