Pizarra - all beaches

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.

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.

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

The beach is fantastic - it has a cozy atmosphere and the people there are incredibly friendly and helpful.

There are several spots on the beach where you can rent sunbeds with umbrellas for €14 a day. The ocean is stunning, but very chilly, and the rocky incline can make it hard to get out of the sea when the tide recedes. It's a great place to spend the day, particularly in the off-season when it's much less crowded.

A must-see! It has a lot of cafes, restaurants, and bars, and the weather is great during the offseason (January and February). Don't miss out!
