Playa de Torrenueva is a popular urban beach in Torrenueva (Motril), Province of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, stretching 1.7 to 2.3 kilometers long and approximately 30 meters wide with dark volcanic sand and gravel.

This Blue Flag-certified beach also holds the "Q" for Quality Tourism award and offers calm to moderate waves, making it excellent for family swimming and ideal for children thanks to its clear water and manageable pebbles on the shore. The beach features a busy palm-lined promenade lined with well-known beach bars and restaurants serving fresh seafood and traditional Spanish espetos, along with comprehensive facilities including public toilets, showers, disabled access, litter bins, and seasonal kayak and paddleboard rentals.

It is very busy during high season with good parking available just off the N340 road, and the coastline is occupied by tall buildings overlooking the beach, while visitors consider it the best beach in Granada due to its fine sand, good access, economical bars, and excellent services.
