Is there a lifeguard at Vilches?

Not recorded. Vilches has no lifeguard in the MITECO registry: expect to swim unsupervised, though Torrox council may add cover in high summer without it reaching the registry. The nearest beach with a recorded lifeguard service is El Playazo (Nerja), 1 km away in a straight line.

Is Vilches a good beach for children?

Does Vilches have a Blue Flag?
