A stretch west of Nerja town that collectors rate highly, with one reporting glass 'every few steps', including yellow and black.
About Playa de la Muralla
A small rocky strip just west of the Puerto Sherry marina, under the ruined walls of the Santa Catalina castle. At low tide you can walk out over the rocks and fallen masonry and on to La Calita beach, but the tide comes in quickly here.
Sea glass at Playa de la Muralla
Loads of browns, greens and whites, with deep teal and turquoise the speciality.
Visiting Playa de la Muralla
- Getting there
- Low tide only; a local was cut off by the rising tide, so check tide times before setting out.
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.

Spain's famous 'beach of crystals': a small cove below Laxe cemetery carpeted with glass from an old tip. Look, but don't take.

A small Asturian beach south of Luanco named for the polished glass that washed in from an old tip; reports differ on how much is left.
