On El Peñoncillo beach there are cold-water showers and a lifeguard during the summer months, whilst sun loungers and parasols are provided by the local beach-side restaurants.  There is a nautical school on El Peñoncillo beach where you can windsurf or use a canoe.

In addition, Torrox Costa and nearby Nerja (only 5 miles along the coast), boast many other beautiful beaches, making Torrox Beach Club an ideal location to enjoy the many local beaches on its doorstep.  These include; Torrox Costa’s Ferrara beach and Nerja’s Burriana Beach both of which have been awarded the quality Blue Flag and ‘Q’ awards.

Places to visit:

Nearby are the famous Nerja Caves, only discovered in 1959 and one of the most beautiful cave complexes in Europe and really worth seeing.  No trip to the local area is complete without a visit to the picturesque and historic village of Frigiliana.  Indeed, the whole of the beautiful Axarquia Region is a great place to explore.  Consequently, if you enjoy rambling and getting out into the great outdoors and away from the droves of the coastal towns, this is the place for you.  Likewise, there is the region and historical city of Granada and noteworthy Alhambra palace, just one hour’s drive away.  Whilst a further half an hour’s journey takes one 2,100 metres up to the popular Sierra Nevada winter ski resort.

Also, from here, it is easy to visit Malaga, with its magnificent Cathedral, hill-top Castillo de Gibralfaro and the Picasso Museum, amongst the city’s many attractions.

Furthermore, all year long, cultural and leisure activities take place in Torrox Costa and Nerja. This includes theatre, exhibitions, music concerts, flamenco, and traditional dance.  SolTalk a monthly magazine, written in English, giving a wide variety of information about the area, clubs, markets and any public holiday or festivals.

Eating Out, Cuisine and Nightlife

Throughout the Costa del Sol there are a wide selection of good cafes and bars. The main leisure area in Torrox Costa being along the Paseo Maritimo and the side streets leading to the beach. This is a about a mile from Torrox Beach Club. With Torrox saying it has “the best climate in Europe with 329 days per year of sunshine” few will disagree and it is ideal for “al fresco dining”.

The cuisine in Torrox Costa is typical of the Axarquia region.  Specialties include Ajoblanco con Uvas (Garlic Soup with Grapes), Chota a la Cazadora (Kid in Almond Sauce), Cordero Asado al Horno (Roast Marinated Lamb) and Sweet Churros (fried dough sticks).  Churros are like donuts dipped in hot chocolate, delicious!  That said, there are many, many restaurants catering for all types of food and ethnic backgrounds.

During the summer, some bars along the coast offer music shows and flamenco performances. For the young at heart, there are also a selection of pubs and discos.
