The beach is quite pleasant, but the parking is quite a challenge. At the end of the street leading to the beach there's a parking lot, and it's run by a man driving a Mercedes, giving off an air of illegitimacy. Some people have ignored him and not paid, but it's still a bit of a worry. It's a bit disconcerting, to be honest.

This beach near Marbella has convenient parking and is fully equipped. It's a great spot for families with young kids, as the waters are shallow. Highly recommended.

A breeze to access. Ample street parking. Sun loungers and eateries along the coast which have delicious food. Perfect for families. Take care when entering the sea as there are stones on the seabed. Not too busy - highly recommended!

Playa del Rosario is the perfect spot to take a break and soak up some sun. It's one of the best beaches in the area, and it's definitely worth the visit. The hot weather makes it even more enjoyable - it's an ideal place to relax and unwind.

This beach area is far from ideal. It has a few bars, but the selection is not great. The food options are okay, but not particularly impressive. There's not a lot of people here right now, but it's probably the best place to go for a beach stroll.
