Fuengirola’s 7 beaches for a getaway
01/07/2026
There are mornings when all your body craves is to make time stand still, take a deep breath and listen to the murmur of the waves.
If you’re looking for a spot in southern Europe where you can reconnect with your sense of well-being and enjoy a relaxing break, Fuengirola’s coastline unfolds before you like a true canvas of peace and authenticity.
Along its seven kilometres of coastline, bathed in the mild climate of the Costa del Sol, lies a haven of tranquillity, perfect for exploring on foot, at your own pace and with all five senses fully alert.
Los Boliches: The charm of seafaring tradition
Walking barefoot along the sand at Los Boliches at dawn is one of the most revitalising experiences the town has to offer. This Blue Flag-awarded beach perfectly blends a sophisticated atmosphere with the essence of an old fishing village.
It’s the ideal place to let yourself be enveloped by the scent of salt and wood, watching the sun rise above the horizon whilst the traditional beach bars begin to carefully prepare the first sardine skewers of the day.
Fuengirola Beach (San Francisco)
Situated next to the lively marina, San Francisco Beach offers a stretch of fine, golden sand protected by breakwaters that ensure the waters are always calm, almost like a natural swimming pool.
Its prime location allows you to alternate between a relaxing swim in the sun and a sophisticated stroll through the town centre, enjoying its exclusive boutiques and terraces whilst never losing sight of the Mediterranean skyline.
Carvajal Beach
At the eastern end of Fuengirola, bordering Benalmádena, lies a spot that particularly captivates international travellers seeking exclusivity and a leisurely pace.
Carvajal stands out for its coastal landscape dotted with boulders and its sophisticated atmosphere, where you can relax at its exclusive beach clubs, enjoying a quiet read or a premium cocktail whilst the afternoon is bathed in golden tones.
Santa Amalia Beach
This stretch of coastline stretches majestically at the foot of Sohail Castle, offering a picturesque scene where Andalusia’s medieval history blends with the gentle rolling of the waves.
Seamlessly connected by an elegant footbridge crossing the river, Santa Amalia is a favourite spot for couples looking to take an evening stroll in a more intimate natural setting, away from crowds.
Las Gaviotas Beach
If your top priority on holiday is to escape the crowds and seek out some peace and quiet, Las Gaviotas is the best-kept secret on the Fuengirola coast.
Highly regarded by Central European tourists for its residential atmosphere and impeccable facilities, this beach invites you to lie back in a sun lounger, close your eyes and enjoy a day of total relaxation with the sound of the sea as your only soundtrack.
Torreblanca Beach
Naturally connected to Carvajal, Torreblanca offers an extensive stretch of coastline with clean sand and crystal-clear waters, ideal for those who see relaxation through exercise and wellness.
It’s an excellent spot for a quick walk whilst feeling the sea breeze, going for a run at dusk or simply gazing at the vastness of the Mediterranean horizon in a setting of relaxed elegance.
Playa del Castillo
Flanked by the silhouette of the Moorish fortress and surrounded by a pleasant green space, Playa del Castillo offers a slightly wilder setting with a unique character within the municipality.
Breathing in the fresh air on this stretch of coast, where the sea seems to open out more freely, is the perfect way to round off a wellness route designed to reset the mind and restore your vitality.
Where to stay to enjoy the best beaches
