Fuengirola Beaches

With over seven kilometres of sandy shoreline to explore, the stunning beaches are some of the main attractions in Fuengirola. Stretching from the castle in the west, right over to Torreblanca in the east, they provide the perfect opportunity to relax on the beach and ‘people watch’ with a cheeky cocktail or cooling spritzer from one of the beachfront bars. If sitting and watching the world go by isn’t your style, the beaches offer plenty to do for all of the family from relaxing activities such as pedalo rentals or kayaking, through to more adventurous pursuits such as parasailing or jet skiing - you’ll never be short of options here.

In peak season the beaches are welcoming and well equipped with everything from loungers and parasols to showers on the beach through to virtually any watersport you can think of - and some beach fun such as volleyball, too! Los Boliches is the main beach - with its Blue Flag status and a hive of activity, its popular with both holidaymakers and locals alike. If you prefer somewhere a little quieter, Torreblanca’s location attracts less of a crowd whilst still offering plenty of activities for all ages.
