Paseo Maritimo Rey de España.
The promenade is decorated with palm trees and benches and offers everything for beach life and a lot of excellent restaurants.
The promenade is about 8 kilometres long, starting at the Castillo Sohail castle and heading east towards Torreblanca-Carvajal.
Fuengirola has one of the longest seafront promenades in Spain, perfect for a pleasant stroll at sunset or for a jog.
Playa del Castillo or El Ejido
The first beach is Playa del Castillo. This is the only beach where you can barbecue and where dogs are allowed. On the beach there are boats in different colours filled with sand and if you want to barbecue in one of these, you book a boat. The beach is suitable for families with children as the water is shallow.
Santa Amalia
The beach is located right by the suspension bridge after Playa del Castillo.
Playa San Francisco
After Santa Amalia, you’ll find Playa San Francisco, an extremely well-maintained beach full of amenities. The beach is 300 metres long and in summer it is very crowded. During the high season, they build “water parks” in the sea, a fun activity for both children and adults.
El Puerto – The Harbour
After San Francisco comes the harbour of Fuengirola with water activities and boat excursions as well as restaurants and bars. The harbour is well visited by tourists and locals alike who enjoy the wonderful food in the well-run restaurants.
Playa Los Boliches
Playa Los Boliches is the name of one of the most popular beaches in Fuengirola. The beach has also been awarded a Blue Flag award.
You can hire a pedalo, water skis or a jet ski and there is volleyball courts. If you want to taste an “espeto de sardinas” in true Malaga style, you can find it here.
Los Boliches is one of the widest beaches. It´s easy access to the sea with rows of wooden decks that are easy to walk on when the sand is scorching hot. Avoid cars because in high season it is impossible to find parking space, this applies to all beaches.
