Playa Marina del Este may be tiny, but it's authentic. Unfortunately, the water is full of big rocks and sometimes the clarity isn't great, making it less than ideal for swimming. There's a decent eatery nearby, along with showers and a restroom - though the latter could do with some sprucing up.

A beautiful and serene oasis. The cove provides a sense of security and comfort, making it a wonderful place to relax. The atmosphere is calming and peaceful, perfect for a peaceful day away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I absolutely adore this beach!

This place is an ideal spot for diving, boasting some of the best views on the southern coast of Spain. However, it's not the best place to relax and soak up some sun as the sand is filled with small and large stones, both on the beach and in the water. Nevertheless, the stroll from the beach's parking lot to the harbour is a pleasant one, with a stony path leading to a lovely balcony where you can take in the sights. The harbour itself is also worth a visit, with its selection of restaurants and shops.

Fantastic, it is a great spot for scuba diving and one of the few places in Costa del Sol for freediving. There are bathrooms and showers available and parking can be a bit of a hassle. Unfortunately, there aren't many restaurants nearby.

That place is a true paradise, with its natural beauty, facilities, parking, and beach restaurant. You can also rent umbrellas and sunbeds, making it the perfect spot to relax. Snorkeling is great here, though it can get a bit crowded with divers and spearfishers. But don't worry - there's plenty of space on the sand, even if the waters are a bit busy.
