Fantastic experience: Wonderful getaway
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, beach and walking path, calm and nice beach
Fantastic experience: Good beach in Mijas Cove, very narrow, enough space for the whole family, and things to do as well. Today there is an area for kids, many restaurants and bars, between the beach and in the town. Prices for everyone. There are sunbeds and public services as well. Parking in the fairgrounds, easy access from the A7. Come and enjoy it! Pedestrian viability: Very easy, no hills here!
Fantastic experience: Beach with nearby beach bars and restaurants, lifeguard surveillance, cameras, and every so often a coastal surveillance drone is launched. The parking is regular, blue zone, and there is an area near the beach that is not blue, and you might get lucky parking like I did, and it's about 300 meters to the beach.
Fantastic experience: Lots of eateries, beautiful views shops and lots of facilities within a short walk. Parking would be a problem in high season.

Fantastic experience: Muy buen lugar para un día de playa. Cuidado con el sol, quema. Sugiero que se proteja del sol continuamente. El agua es fría, genial para un día caluroso y refrescarse, ya que en otras playas de España el agua es caliente. Lo mejor de la playa es que puedes hacer "el muerto" y NO TE HUNDES y así relajarte y refrescarte dentro del agua. Definitivamente me encantó, para los amantes del baño y del agua.

Positive experience: Fine sandy beach.
Fantastic experience: This beach is the best, it's the one with the least stones compared to the others around and it's very well maintained... ... Security: Good security, plenty of lifeguards.
Negative experience: Last year was much better, this year they fixed it because of the spring storm, there was another storm and in the end, they left it as it was, and there is quite a lot of sand missing, there is a drop-off and a sand slope that you can't even lie down on.
Positive experience: Beautiful sandy beach and promenade.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful fine sand beach, very well maintained by the municipality.

Positive experience: Very beautiful, lots of seaweed, nice people. Good beach bars. Little Spanish. Great if you want to get your B1 without paying for a school.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, clean. Several beach restaurants nearby.
Positive experience: Wide beach, with sand. Several beach bars open in summer and winter. In summer, it is overly crowded. The beach is nice, but the beach bars and the atmosphere are losing their Andalusian essence due to the foreign mass tourism that does not seek that.
Fantastic experience: Super cozy beach with many bars and restaurants. Playground, fitness, new yoga.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful small town with shops and restaurants

Fantastic experience: Una playa muy buena con muchos servicios como zona de baño adaptado, deportes náuticos,socorristas,wc públicos también destacar la limpieza de la playa,la recomiendo para toda la gente y además con chiringuitos y bares por la zona.
Fantastic experience: Mi mujer y yo vamos siempre a esta playa , tiene todos los servicios a mano...socorristas, wc limpios, zona de restauración con amplia gama para elegir que comer, arena limpia, en fin que más se puede pedir. Eso si le pediría al alcalde mas presencia policial para controlar a la gente sin civismo que eso si hay mucha sobre todo sin mascarillas. Mas mano dura señores y mas multas a todos los getas españoles y britanicos que no se la ponen.
Fantastic experience: Excelente playa para disfrutar con la familia. Adaptada para minusválidos. Con servicio de socorristas. Muy recomendable con niños.
