Address: Playa de la Yuca, Benalmádena
Playa de Las Yucas is one of Benalmádena’s best-kept secrets—tucked between rocky cliffs and palm-dotted slopes just west of Torrequebrada. This 400-meter stretch of sand and gravel has a chill, local feel thanks to its semi-hidden location and natural sound barrier of trees that hush the nearby road.
It’s got just the right balance of peaceful and accessible: free parking, beachside restaurant, and adapted access for people with disabilities. The vibe is laid-back, nudist-friendly, and great for families or couples looking to dodge the high-season crowds. Bonus: the sunsets here are next-level thanks to its west-facing cliffs.
Las Yucas isn’t flashy, but that’s exactly why it hits differently. Whether you’re sunbathing between the rocks or grabbing a drink with a sea view, this is the kind of beach you accidentally spend the whole day on—and maybe come back to the next.
