Playa La Guardia	Playa de la Guardia, 18680, Granada, Spain		Directions

This secluded, little-known nudist beach, not far from Torre Nueva is usually very quiet due to tricky access down a 500-metre stairway.

For those who prefer something a little more secluded check out nearby pretty Cala de la Rijana. This is a very popular spot with scuba-divers.

Castell de Ferro is a small fishing village with a well maintained urban beach with boardwalk that is popular in high season.
