The Costa del Sol is crowded – everywhere! Forget about a small secret beach where you can be alone. It is no longer available. But you can still have a good – and authentic – experience at the beach.

“Playamar” is the beach between Malaga Airport and Torremolinos. Here are approx. 1-1½ km. of beach where there are no hotels behind – only some townhouses, apartments and parking spaces occupy the space behind it – and therefore there are virtually no foreign tourists here.

by Michael Madsen.

It does not mean that there are no persone here – to the contrary. At least on weekends, on holidays and in August, it is quite stuffed – but with local Spaniards; Malageños coming out of the city to enjoy the beach. This often leads to high moods, lots of activity, life and happy days – something completely different from benching with Dutch retirees along the rest of the Costa del Sol!

On weekdays a little out of season you can even get lucky that there are not many persone at Playamar at all – so you might get the beach almost to yourself. This is probably one of the only places on the Costa del Sol where that is possible.
