KAYAKING
Nerja's coast has crystal clear water in all shades of blue. In several places, the coastal landscape is completely untouched, and you can see waterfalls dancing down the cliff faces. You will find secluded coves and beaches that can only be reached by kayak and caves that hide water so clear that it reflects the colors in the limestone. It is sometimes difficult to understand that you are "only" in southern Spain, and the nature here is just waiting to be discovered. Discovering Nerja's coast in a kayak is "a must". You can rent a kayak at, for example, Burriana beach and Maro beach east of Nerja.
