Playa El Tesorillo is a small cove in the Velilla-Taramay district of Almuñécar, 80 metres long and 55 wide, between Playa Velilla and Playa del Pozuelo. The surface is gravel and dark sand, and an old watchtower stands on the rocky headland beside it.

Two chiringuitos sit on the same sand, UHA and Restaurante El Tesorillo, with loungers and parasols for hire between them, showers, lifeguard cover and step-free access. Nautical sports run from the beach, and there is urban parking and a bus stop nearby. It is small and lively, and draws a young crowd.
