Costa del Sol Beaches.

Here is a photo slide show of just a few of the beaches along the Costa del Sol. Some of the best beaches of the Costa's are right here in southern Spain. Estepona covers more than 20km of coast line with numerous beaches, more than enough room for everyone! Puerto Banus - a haven for the rich and famous. Visit the beaches here and you never know who you may bump into! Marbella - also a place to be seen, especially along the 'Golden Mile' Here you will find Marbella Beach Club with its many beach facilities. Mijas Costa, although Mijas is a small white Spanish village in the montains, it reaches down to the coast and has 12 km of excellent beach. Benalmadena with 9 km of beach of varying quality with plenty of sunbeds and parasols for hire, always a favorite for families! Torremolinos one of the best - with a wide 7 km long beach, with a very nice walkway stretching from one end to the other! The town of Nerja has an unbelievable 16 km of golden beaches - very picturesque with the backdrop of Nerja town and the Sierra mountains behind.

Torremolinos

The 'endless' beach of Torremolinos, with all the sunbeds now in place for the summer season.
To hire 2 sunbeds, a sunshade with the straw thatched roof and a small table is just 8 euro for the day.
You can then lay in comfort all day long, without getting covered in sand...
...it gets all over!

Maybe this could be a way to keep the kids occupied? Buy them a bucket and spade and
ask them to try
copy these creations on the beach.
It should keep them amused for hours!

Resorts along the Costa del Sol

A good way to start this new blog is by showing the small ferry boat which will take you to the three main resorts on the Costa del Sol. The first one you reach as you head south from Malaga airport is Torremolinos. Then right next door is Benalmadena, further south from here is Fuengirola.

All three places are ideal for family holidays, with which I'll be sharing with you all sorts of news of events and photos of other places which can be easily visited while you holiday in this part of Spain.
