Malaga is one of the Costa del Sol’s most popular destinations, offering everything from pristine sand banks and crystal waters. Here are some of the province’s best beaches to keep the whole family entertained this summer.

 

 

 

Featuring 1,200 metres of sandy shore, Malagueta beach is one of the most visited in the province. Located in the city of Malaga, the idyllic stretch offers lifeguards, showers and a children’s play area with gentle waves to suit all ages.

 

 

 

Known in English as Raven Rock beach, this enclave takes its name from the huge rock formation that divides it. It’s the perfect day out for all the family, with regular concerts and cultural activities a unique feature. It also had a dedicated barbeque area for public use.

Situated in the beautiful municipality of Nerja, Calahonda beach is less than an hour from the city of Malaga and is one of the most photographed in the area, sitting just below the famous Balcón de Europa.

 

 

 

The peaceful enclave of Cable beach has become one of the most visited in Marbella in recent years, where activities such as volleyball tournaments and sandcastle-building contests are regularly organised.

 

It’s also a very safe environment for children, as the first few metres of water are very shallow.

 

 

 

Torre del Mar is a huge 2-kilometre-long beach in the municipality of Vélez-Málaga, ideally bordered by a promenade packed with restaurants and beach bars. There is also a fun children’s area complete with slides, swings and seesaws.
