La Cala Beach is a beautiful and well-maintained sandy beach located on the Costa del Sol, offering a perfect destination for relaxation and leisure activities.

  • Highlights:
  • Amazing coastal walks with picturesque views.

  • Good safety with lifeguards on duty.
  • Spacious sandy beach, ideal for families.

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: 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.

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: 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: 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.

Martin Bautista 4 years ago

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: I love Cala de Mijas and the playa ( beach ) is lovely. Its about 4k long, with showers and toilets. Lots of little beach side cafes and restaurants at reasonable prices. Wheel chair access at various points. Clean sand.. sea can be tranquil or rough with enough waves to keep the surfers happy. A great place!

Positive experience: It's a beautiful place and the promenade is magnificent, and Butibamba is nearby where you can eat the best loin of Málaga. In summer, I will buy the loin sandwich and take a walk at night because it's a very pleasant place and where you can see the stars best.
