Scare on a Maro beach due to a rockfall from a cliff

Beachgoers were in for a major shock this Sunday while enjoying the day at Maro Beach in Nerja, following a landslide that sent a large amount of rocks and soil tumbling down from one of the cliffs surrounding the area. Despite the dramatic nature of the event, municipal sources have confirmed that there were no injuries, as there were no people engaged in water sports like kayaking or paddle surfing nearby at the time of the collapse.

The incident occurred around 5:00 PM over a stretch of about 30 meters, between the well-known Grande Waterfall and the beach at Maro. The huge dust cloud that rose after the fall of the rocky material alarmed the numerous bathers present, who filled the beach at that time and watched anxiously as a cloud of dust spread over the area.

The landslide occurred near the Maro waterfall, one of the most photographed spots due to the beauty of the surroundings, which increased the impact among those present, many of them tourists who were taking pictures of the landscape just before the event. The loud rumble prior to the collapse was clearly heard from the shore, as several witnesses reported.

Minutes later, a brief video recorded by a vacationer began circulating on social networks, where the footage of the event has generated a large number of reactions.

Although there were no personal injuries to mourn, the incident has caused concern among visitors and has revived calls for increased surveillance and control on stretches of coast with geological risk, especially in areas with high foot traffic during the summer.
