A great spot to spend the winter months, this place is perfect for those looking for a laid-back atmosphere. With fewer people around, you can enjoy a relaxing drink in a tranquil setting.

This spot may be shallow, but it's definitely kid-friendly. You won't have to worry about the water suddenly dropping off like other beaches in Benalmadena. Plus, there's a small playground and plenty of shady palm trees.

That place is really cool and the perfect spot for a great day out! It's very nice and has easy access, so it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun.

Playa de Santa Ana is situated on Benalmadena beach in the Malaga district. Although it's a great spot for those who like to take in the sights, if you're more of a laid-back and chill kind of person, it's not the place for you. The area is populated by a lot of older folks strolling with their grandkids, with lots of fancy restaurants and bars around. I visited for five days, but I won't be returning.
