Latest reviews on Costa del Sol's beaches

Playa Carchuna
8 Mr. Tidman.

The beach was far from ideal - a dirty, rocky shoreline in a heavily commercialized area. It's not somewhere I'd ever want to visit again.

Playa Bajondillo
1 Paula montes casado

Horrible. The dirty sand every day is full of cigarette butts, band-aids and cans. Water with screems of people. Footbaths do not work to save water The entire beach is occupied by beach bars so there is no space for your umbrella, playing with children or animals.

Playa los Toros
10 Emerson P

We've been going as a big group every Sunday for a few years now, and it's an absolutely fantastic spot to relax with family and friends. The restaurant and bar are both amazing.

Benalmadena beach
8 Jalilah Ndururi

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.

Playa De Zaragoza
8 Harrison Flanders

We were very pleased with the beautiful beach of Real de Zaragoza, especially because our area lacks good sunsets.

Playa de la Rada
8 Riley Easton

That place has been a favorite of mine for years. It's always spotless, although the scenery changes a bit from year to year. The boardwalk is terrific, both during the day and at night. It could do with a few repairs, and the promenade could use some minor improvements. It's wide and sandy, and it's a great spot to hang out, even after dark. It's a safe, friendly place to spend the summer.
