Latest reviews on Pedregalejo's beaches

Malagueta Beach
6 Caleb Morris

There are several spots on the beach where you can rent sunbeds with umbrellas for €14 a day. The ocean is stunning, but very chilly, and the rocky incline can make it hard to get out of the sea when the tide recedes. It's a great place to spend the day, particularly in the off-season when it's much less crowded.

Playa de la Misericordia

Amazing and the sunset is stunning.

Playas del Palo
8 Bogdan Lazar

This location spot is a paradise! It's got a great atmosphere and is really relaxed. There are plenty of eateries all around, making it a great place to hang out. The scenery is stunning, and it's the perfect spot to spend a day in the sun.

Playa de la Butibamba
8 Gianna Nichelle

That place is easily accessible and offers a wide array of amenities. The light gray sand creates a beautiful backdrop, while the many ciringuitos (shores) offer plenty of opportunities to grab a drink or a bite to eat. The famous espetos (skewers of anchovies cooked on the grill) are a great way to enjoy the beach. Other services, such as showers and pedal boats, make this beach a great choice for a day out.

Playa Penon
6 Krystian Kowalski

This location on the edge of town is a great spot for a tranquil getaway. It has a large lot for camper vans and BBQ spots, and plenty of walking routes to explore. Plus, it has the added bonus of having gray sand.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet so close to Malaga, the beach, the pueblo and the restaurants were all great. The only downside was the poor quality of the ice cream from the Heladeria. Additionally, the beach had a unique charm with its gray sand and pebble.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
