Alhaurin de la Torre beste stranden

This was the first beach I had the chance to visit in Malaga, which is known for its crowded beaches. I found this beach to be quite peaceful and relaxing, allowing me to truly enjoy my time there. There is also a lovely chiringuito that offers reasonably priced food and drinks with a nice view of the sea. I visited in early September, so I can't speak to how busy it might be in the middle of summer.

This spot may be shallow, but it's definitely kid-friendly. You won't have to worry about the water suddenly dropping off like other beaches in Benalmadena. Plus, there's a small playground and plenty of shady palm trees.

Stranden er fantastisk - den har en hyggelig atmosfære, og de mennesker der er utroligt venlige og hjælpsomme.

The water was a bit cold for my taste, but the place was great with beach bars to eat or drink at any time and the sand was a beautiful gray color. The whole area was very quiet and fun, making it a great place to relax.

This beach near Benalmadena was far from appealing when we first arrived with our family of 7. It was rocky and full of large stones near the shore, making it difficult to find a spot to settle in. Although the water was clean and clear, with fish swimming about, it was still a far cry from being a good beach. We had a small picnic and spent most of our time in the water, but even with a snorkel mask, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. The atmosphere was quiet and all seemed to mind their own business, but the restaurant nearby didn't seem to care.

This location is an ideal spot for a day out, with easy access and free parking at the less commercialised Eastern end. For those looking for a more lively atmosphere, the port area is bustling with plenty of 'British' catering options.
