Torrenueva Costa

Torrenueva Costa is a newly-created (2018) Spanish Municipality in the province of Granada and in the autonomous community Andalucía.

As an eminently touristic location, its beaches are populated by numerous swimmers from many sources-mainly from the rest of the granadine province, Jaén and Ciudad Real- during the summer months.

·Facilities: car parking, showers, a first aid stand, beach cleaning, ships rental, bars and S.O.S.

With a width of about 15 meters, it is a dark sand beach that runs along 300 m of coastline between the Port of Motril and Torrenueva Costa.

Although most of the population of Torrenueva has always been reluctant to be part of the Municipality of Motril, it wasn't till 11 September 1987 when it became an EATIM and it granted some autonomy.
