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 Krisztian Gabor

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.

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 Nigel Smith

This beach near Estepona is not a great choice for relaxation. It is one of the least attractive beaches in the region, with grimy sand and a rundown, budget-style resort atmosphere. It is definitely not worth the effort.
