At the western end of Benalmádena, heading towards Fuengirola, the coastline becomes more sheltered. Torrebermeja is one of those small beaches tucked between breakwaters that visitors rarely know about and residents use every day.
Getting there
From the A-7 / old N-340 at Benalmádena Costa, taking the access roads towards the Torrebermeja area. Parking on the nearby streets — limited in summer — and in paid car parks. You can also walk here along the promenade from the centre of Benalmádena Costa.

What it’s like
Around 400 metres of dark, coarse sand, sheltered by breakwaters that leave the water almost always calm. It’s a small and somewhat narrow beach, which means the crowds show in August despite it not being a tourist beach. The rest of the year it’s practically empty.
The tower
It takes its name from Torre Bermeja, one of the watchtowers that lined this coast from the 16th century to warn of Barbary pirates. Benalmádena preserves three of these towers — Bermeja, Muelle Viejo and Quebrada — all listed as cultural heritage.
Who it’s for
For anyone staying nearby who wants a comfortable beach without travelling, or for anyone after something quieter in Benalmádena than Malapesquera. It works well with children thanks to the calm water.
