Beaches in Manilva

Manilva lies at the western end of Málaga’s Costa del Sol and has more than eight kilometres of coastline. It combines the urban beach at Sabinillas, the visitor facilities around Puerto de la Duquesa and rockier, more natural sections towards Punta Chullera and the boundary with Cádiz province.Choosing a beach in ManilvaSabinillas is the most urban and convenient option for combining the beach, promenade and restaurants. La Duquesa and El Castillo link a beach day with the marina and coastal heritage. Towards Punta Chullera, small coves sit between rocks in a less developed landscape, where access and entry into the water need more care.Practical adviceConditions and facilities vary considerably between sections, so do not assume a small cove offers the same services as Sabinillas. Check sea conditions, local signs and lifeguard cover on the day. Suitable footwear and extra care are sensible around rocky access points.Main source: Manilva Council — Beaches of Manilva.
