Fantastic experience: Beach formed by two coves. Good for families and small children. It has two accesses on both sides of the hotel, a ramp on the west side and wooden stairs on the other side. There are showers. Calm beach with shallow water. It has a lifeguard station with lifeguards. Coarse sand.
Fantastic experience: This beach has 2 small coves but perfect for spending the day. The sea is usually calm, allowing for paddle surfing and especially for children. You can walk into the water for a while without it covering you. There are 2 accesses to the beach on both sides of the hotel. There is free parking on both sides and on the main road.
Positive experience: Incredible little beach, it is super pretty, crystal clear water, everything is super clean. The problem for me was that a 9-year-old child cannot get in among the amount of stones and what it covers, but for the rest, I would definitely return to visit it. The Benalmádena town hall was super attentive with the showers; I was delighted.
Positive experience: It's a shame about the invasion of tents and stalls with rude and uncivil people who seem to come straight out of Pajares and Esteso movies. It's very painful and embarrassing to see parents teaching their children to catch animals only to let them die in beach buckets, throwing trash everywhere while foreigners watch them as if observing a scene from Atapuerca. Not to mention the fishermen stationed on the rocks just 5 meters away from bathers, casting their hooks over the heads of children. A beautiful beach that is impossible to enjoy in summer.
Fantastic experience: A quiet beach, accessible by car, away from the Torremuelle station, beautiful views and access to the Hotel Benalma Costa del Sol.

Fantastic experience: Playa tranquila, cristalina y preciosa. Junto a ella está la playa para perros, increible experiencia
Positive experience: Playa tranquila , sita a escasos metros andando de la estación de cercanías de Torreblanca. Algunos fines de semana se organizan clases de yoga. Sitio muy tranquilo con aguas limpias
Positive experience: Es bonita si, faltan aseos públicos. El agua estaba cristalina, cosa no muy frecuente en las distintas playas de Málaga, no había medusas ni algas. Acceso bastante complicado, sobretodo para ir con personas mayores o con problemas de movilidad, mejor no ir muy cargado. Me encantó que hubiese al lado playa canina.
Negative experience: No me gustó mucha piedra pequeña y al entra te hundes muy fácilmente. No recomiendo.
Positive experience: Bonita playa. Son dos cañitas pequeñas, de aguas cristalinas, genial para bucear. Playa tranquila y con muy poca marea. Nos ha gustado mucho. Merece mucho la pena venir.

Positive experience: Nice place to relax and take a swim. In some areas of the beach, it's difficult due to the stones when entering, so it's better to do it with appropriate footwear. But it's worth spending a morning in this area, which is also not very crowded.

Positive experience: Two sun beds for €14 all day. Part of the beach protected by a stone pier. It's ok. Black sand.

Positive experience: The water is usually very clean. It has public services and restaurants. Parking is not too difficult and there is a parking lot for an affordable price. There is an area with pebbles and another with more sand.
Fantastic experience: Beach accessed by going down some stairs from the nearby chiringuito, so it would not be suitable for people with reduced mobility. Once there, the cove is very calm and it is possible to rent sunbeds for 7 euros each. Although it is in front of the hotel (now called Benalmá), it is quite a tranquil place.
Fantastic experience: Buena playa, con chiringuito con magníficas vistas y aparcamiento cercano.
Negative experience: La playa más inaccesible del mundo. Abajo un tío sentado en una silla de playa esperando trincar pasta por un parking, a cambio, comer en el restaurante de abajo. La playa sucia.
Fantastic experience: Playa de fácil acceso frente a un hotel con aparcamiento en la carretera, en la bajada a la playa y en el parking del hotel Palladium (1€/hora). Para las personas con movilidad reducida quizás la rampa está demasiado inclinada. La arena es natural, con algunas piedrecillas. Facilidad para poner sombrillas. También hay hamacas para alquilar. Cuenta con ducha, caseta de masajes y vigilancia de socorrista. Pero no tiene aseos públicos, hay que recurrir al chiringuito o al restaurante. Ambiente heterogéneo: turistas del hotel, familias, parejas... La playa se encuentra entre dos espigones, al resguardo de las olas y la entrada es suave, sin socavones pronunciados. Cerca hay un restaurante y el chiringuito del hotel. La calidad del agua es bastante aceptable, generalmente transparente y con algunas algas cuando hay resaca. Los fines de semana está más concurrida y los aparcamientos cercanos se agotan.

Fantastic experience: Playa bonita contiene el encanto de una playa para la familia con buen espacio de arena para poner tus sillas y llevarte la merienda. Por otro lado, si lo tuyo es comer en restaurante, hay tienes un buen chiringuito con vistas al mar. Además, la playa tiene un espigón para pescar con caña cuando sea posible, o hacer buceo y ver la vida marina del lugar. Finalmente, en el puesto de socorristas están muy atentos para avisar de peligros o ayudar en caso de necesidad. Yo recomiendo ir a esta playa en plan de disfrutar en compañía de la familia o amistades.
Positive experience: Socorristas en esta época de mayo se agradece. Es una playa que está protegida de las olas por el espigón. Tiene tumbonas del hotel.
Positive experience: Una playa estupenda. No cubre al entrar, no hay olas casi nunca. Bastante limpia, con socorrista. Son tres calitas. Un chiringuito de 10. No se puede pedir más.

Fantastic experience: Quiet and clean beach. Ideal for going with children, as the sea is calm and the atmosphere is very family-friendly.
Negative experience: The beach would be ideal if there weren't dirt spills throughout the day. We were led by the good comments, but they are not so true, at least not when we were there. The water is cloudy.
Fantastic experience: A clean cove with crystal clear water due to the rocks, parking is complicated in summer, it’s better to wear water shoes for the stones, ideal for families, they allow tents, a quiet area to spend a day with children, easy access to showers, now closed due to water cuts like everywhere.

Positive experience: Calitas preciosas, con agua limpia y cristalina. Aunque en alguna de ellas hay bastantes piedras, merece la pena conocerlas y si os gusta hacer snorkel, podréis ver diferentes peces.
Fantastic experience: Me encantan las calitas que tiene, entre semana es una playa tranquila. Se puede bucear y hacer snorkel. Además, si vas a la calita de la izquierda es toda de arena.

Positive experience: Sitio muy bueno, pero no tiene las 5 estrellas por diversos motivos, primero habría que regenerar la playa con arena de calidad pues tras el último temporal hay muchas piedras, además de cuidar un poco el entorno arreglando la vegetación y quitando las pintadas, por lo demás perfecta
