Maruja García beach, commonly called Playa Maruja, is located in the Spanish municipalities of Motril and Torrenueva Costa, in the province of Granada, autonomous community of Andalusia.

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. It is located between Playa del Cañón and Playa de La Chincheta. Easily accessible, it has a low occupancy level.[1]

It is one of the most recommended beaches to visit on the Costa Tropical.[2]

The beach refers to Maruja García, a neighbor of the municipality of Torrenueva Costa, named in her honor on behalf of all the mothers, grandmothers and working women of the municipality.
