Planning a beach day in Málaga

Choosing where to swim in Málaga is easier when you compare beaches side by side. This selection focuses on the practical details that shape a good beach day: available facilities such as showers and lifeguards, accessibility for families and reduced mobility, the general atmosphere —from quiet coves to lively beaches with bars— and how busy each spot tends to get in summer. Use it to shortlist a few beaches before you set off and to match each one to the kind of day you have in mind.

Getting to the beaches in Málaga

Once you have picked a beach in Málaga, Yanubo helps you work out how to get there without stress. Each beach links to a route planner so you can compare public transport, driving, cycling or walking, check approximate travel times and decide whether to park nearby or use trains and buses. Planning the trip in advance is especially useful on summer weekends, when parking near the most popular beaches fills up early in the day.
