Playa de San Pedro de Alcántara and Guadalmina

Beach · San Pedro de Alcántara

About

Semi-urban beach of about 1,400 m of dark sand with some gravel and moderate waves, with promenade, chiringuitos, sunlounger hire and toilets. To the west continues Guadalmina beach (Blue Flag 2026), quieter, next to the Roman baths of Las Bóvedas and the coastal path.

Good to know

More family-friendly and cheaper than the beaches in Marbella and Puerto Banús. Park in the promenade area (Avenida Carmen Sevilla / Linda Vista) and, in summer, arrive before 12:00. On a weekend morning, combine a swim with a visit to the Termas de Las Bóvedas (Saturdays and Sundays 9:00-11:00).
