Its famous beaches are flanked by extensive seafront promenades, and their shores are dotted with bright colours thanks to the parasols and towels of locals and tourists alike, making them the perfect place to get away from it all, soak up the sun and have fun with your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another article, we told you about the best <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cambara.es\/playas-y-calas-escondidas-de-la-provincia-de-malaga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hidden beaches and coves in the province of M\u00e1laga<\/a><\/strong>, today we\u2019re bringing you the 5 best beaches in M\u00e1laga. In this post, we\u2019ll be sharing tips and information to help you choose the beach that suits you best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Malagueta Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-de-la-malagueta.jpg\" alt=\"Malagueta Beach\" class=\"wp-image-574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-de-la-malagueta.jpg 626w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-de-la-malagueta-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most iconic beach in the city of M\u00e1laga is undoubtedly La Malagueta. Located just a 10-minute walk from the centre of M\u00e1laga, La Malagueta offers a wide range of facilities such as showers, sun lounger hire, toilets, a children\u2019s play area, sports equipment and green spaces\u2026 making it the ideal place to spend a day with the family and have fun at any time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, you can have your photo taken in front of the iconic Malagueta sign to take home a souvenir of the experience. The best thing about this place is its location; after a day at the beach, we recommend visiting the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/krakenmalaga.es\/calle-marques-de-larios-de-malaga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Larios Street<\/a> <\/strong> and stop off at the prestigious <a href=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/en\/\"><strong>Lolita\u2019s Andalusian Tavern<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playa del Castillo (Fuengirola)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-del-castillo-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Castillo Beach, Fuengirola\" class=\"wp-image-577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-del-castillo-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-del-castillo-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-del-castillo-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-del-castillo-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-del-castillo.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: www.tripadvisor.es<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the best-known beach in the municipality of Fuengirola; it lies at the foot of a medieval castle (Sohail Castle). Although it is some distance from the town, it is very easy to reach by local train and there are free car parks below the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, if you have a dog, he or she will also be able to enjoy a day at the beach with you, as there\u2019s a dedicated area just for them where they\u2019ll have a great time playing with the other dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calahonda Beach (Nerja)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-calahonda-en-nerja-1.jpg\" alt=\"Calahonda Beach (Nerja)\" class=\"wp-image-582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-calahonda-en-nerja-1.jpg 860w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-calahonda-en-nerja-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/playa-calahonda-en-nerja-1-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: tripkay.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it\u2019s a smaller beach than the previous ones, it\u2019s certainly no less impressive. It\u2019s a little slice of paradise with crystal-clear waters, just a stone\u2019s throw from the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it is small, it creates a very cosy and intimate atmosphere and means the water is warmer. On the beach itself, there are sun loungers available and a beach bar where you can enjoy the famous M\u00e1laga-style skewers whilst admiring the blue Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maro Beach (Nerja)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-del-pino-maro-nerja.jpg\" alt=\"Cala del Pino, Maro, Nerja\" class=\"wp-image-563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-del-pino-maro-nerja.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-del-pino-maro-nerja-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-del-pino-maro-nerja-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: ww.visitacostadelsol.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maro Beach is in a league of its own; it is one of the most stunning and beautiful beaches in the whole country, thanks to its crystal-clear waters and the striking green and earthy natural landscape that surrounds it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It could be described as a work of art created by nature; it is very well preserved and the marine life in its waters is incredible, as it is a protected area where fishing is not permitted. What\u2019s more, it offers diving and kayaking activities, allowing you to explore the sea and admire the beautiful marine life and spectacular waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for a slice of paradise, this is the beach for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pe\u00f1\u00f3n del Cuervo (El Palo)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-penon-del-cuervo-malaga.jpg\" alt=\"Cala del Pe\u00f1\u00f3n del Cuervo\" class=\"wp-image-556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-penon-del-cuervo-malaga.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-penon-del-cuervo-malaga-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/cala-penon-del-cuervo-malaga-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: www.tripadvisor.es<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, we\u2019d like to introduce you to Pe\u00f1\u00f3n del Cuervo, a beach that takes its name from a huge, imposing rock jutting out from the shore. This beach offers a much more peaceful atmosphere, far removed from civilisation, where you can switch off and relax. It\u2019s best to go by car, but there\u2019s also a bus (M-260) that drops you off just a few metres from the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To conclude, in our opinion, none of these beaches is better than the others; it\u2019s simply a matter of personal taste and what you\u2019re looking for. We hope you\u2019ve found this information useful and that you have a wonderful day on the beaches of the Costa del Sol\u2019s capital.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Si por algo es conocida la capital de la Costa del sol es por sus infinitas playas rodeadas por imponentes palmeras y ba\u00f1adas por el sol sure\u00f1o durante 300 d\u00edas al a\u00f1o.
