Nerja, a popular British destination, suffered damage to the beaches of El Chucho, El Playazo and La Torrecilla.
Torrox, Torre del Mar and Torre de Benagalbón were some of the most affected areas in the region.
Local authorities in Nerja were forced to close the road leading to El Playazo beach and restrict access to two other beaches.
Pedestrians can still access El Playazo but authorities advise visitors not to go "to avoid risks".
Some showers and walkways have been damaged by the stormy weather and authorities are working hard to repair them before the Easter season.

Hoteliers in Benidorm expressed "confidence" after reporting positive booking figures for the upcoming season.

The tourism industry has also been impacted by an increase in energy and fuel prices which could lead to a rise in holiday prices.
Experts in Benidorm have said overnight stays could rise in price by 20 percent this year due to the crisis.
