Sandy beaches on the Costa del Sol

A guide to sandy beaches and how to compare width, access, services and comfort.

The feel of the shore varies considerably along Málaga province. Cabopino, Los Boliches and Torre del Mar offer different settings to compare. Usable width, the slope into the water and high-season space matter as much as the word “sand”.

Before you go

Read each beach page and use verified photographs when available. Some images on this site are clearly labelled generic illustrations and cannot show the real appearance of a beach. Sand and access can change after storms or maintenance work.

Families and accessibility

Compare the distance from transport or parking and any seasonal assisted bathing services. A sandy beach alone does not guarantee easy access.

Beaches to compare

Check each beach page for access, map and facilities. Confirm seasonal information before travelling.
