This beach, known for its vibrant atmosphere, offers numerous amenities such as loungers and umbrellas for rent, showers, and a playground for children.

Positive experience: Very normal beach, typical of a city. Very crowded. They sell you everything from mojitos to massages. Water a little dirty. Sand with small stones. Blue zone for parking.

Positive experience: Historical beach of Malaga very touristy. The beach bars are very good for eating, but it can't be that there is no water in the showers to wash off the saltwater and sand. Don't go by car; it's very difficult to park.

Negative experience: It's a real shame. La Malagueta is the most central beach in Malaga, and that has its good and bad sides. I've been wanting to swim for several days, but I can't because there is a kind of thick brown liquid with bubbles that covers half the beach. This is largely due to the discharges from the boats that appear over there. Being the most touristy and central beach, the thousands of tourists litter the sand with cigarette butts, glass, and plastic, what a shame. With so many tourists, it is full of people who dedicate themselves to selling illegal drinks (mojitos, summer reds,...) made under terrible conditions and who don't stop bothering. Another thing to mention is the number of Asian women who offer massages. And as a final note, there is no water in the showers, not even for the feet; however, all the beach bars, local hotels, and public restrooms do have it, even in the port, there are fountains for dogs to drink (fountains that tourists use to remove sand from their feet). For this and many other reasons, I believe it deserves to lose its blue flag as it does not meet the ideal environmental conditions.

Positive experience: La playa está muy bien, muy cómoda. Pero en el mar la gente está solo en la orilla debido a que cuando entras en el mar te hundes en la arena debajo del mar. No parece muy segura. Pero me ha encantado.

Carmen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Siempre que llegó a Málaga visito esta playa sea por cercanía sea porque es algo que siempre me trae buenos recuerdos Recomiendo encarecidamente ver el amanecer en la playa para eso hay que mirar cuando amanece .Es un espectáculo visual para jóvenes y mayores A lo largo de la playa se encuentra el paseo Matías Sprats, chiringuitos,aseos gratuitos y duchas . El paseo está dividió en dos para ciclistas y para transeúntes. Se puede caminar hasta más allá de Rincón de la Victoria (a unas dos horas y media ) por eso se recomienda tener zapatos cómodos ,gorras ,crema solar agua.

Igor 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Un sitio recomendado para descansar de las rutinas diarias. A lo largo de la playa hay chiringuito por si te apetece tomar algo; parques infantiles para los mas pequeños; espacios verdes para los que tienen mascotas; sitios para alquilar tumbonas y sombrillas etc. Una playa muy completa para todos los gustos.

Positive experience: Sandy beach that is already covered as soon as you enter. I would rate it better if it weren't for the number of people constantly offering their services, bothering us every 3 minutes: They offer massages, sarongs, mojitos, soft drinks...

Positive experience: Beach was very busy with sunbathers and swimmers but still clean. Sand isn't the best to walk on. Straw umbrellas are available for hire. There are palm trees scattered around with Parakeets flying and chirping. Great views out to sea and of the Promenade. The main road is not far away and has plenty of shops and restaurants. The toilet and changing facilities aren’t very good at all. There should be more available considering how busy the beach is.

Negative experience: Showers! At this very nice city beach, unfortunately, all the showers are turned off or broken. The beach is wonderfully accessible from the city but sadly has little natural shade. However, it is still beautiful. I don't understand why the city of Malaga or the people responsible for the beach or the operators of the many sun umbrella and sunbed rentals do not ensure that the showers are also working. Everyone, whether families or singles, wants to enjoy a shower after their time at the sea to rinse off the sand. The rest seems to be in line with what the other reviews state.

Fantastic experience: A must-visit in Malaga! The beach is quite clean due to its location, with beach bars offering good espetos and other fish and seafood, and the people are lovely. BEWARE, because there is the occasional thief and you need to keep an eye on your personal belongings. We witnessed a person trying to grab a bag, but thanks to a good couple and a couple of shouts, they were able to scare him off and he didn't come back. But you need to stay alert.

Positive experience: A Praia da Malagueta é uma das praias mais conhecidas e populares de Málaga, localizada na região da Andaluzia, sul da Espanha. Aqui estão algumas informações sobre esta praia: 1. **Localização**: Situada perto do centro da cidade de Málaga, a Praia da Malagueta fica a uma curta distância do porto e da famosa Calle Larios. A sua proximidade com o centro urbano faz dela uma opção conveniente para residentes e turistas. 2. **Características**: A praia tem cerca de 1,2 quilómetros de comprimento e uma largura média de 45 metros. A areia é escura, característica das praias desta região, e a água é geralmente calma, tornando-a adequada para nadar e relaxar. 3. **Infraestruturas**: A Praia da Malagueta está bem equipada com diversas comodidades, incluindo chuveiros, sanitários, áreas de recreação infantil, e uma boa oferta de bares e restaurantes conhecidos como "chiringuitos". Estes estabelecimentos oferecem uma variedade de pratos, especialmente frutos do mar e a famosa "espetada de sardinhas". 4. **Segurança**: Durante a época alta, a praia conta com serviço de salvamento e primeiros socorros, assegurando a segurança dos banhistas. 5. **Atividades**: Além de nadar e apanhar sol, a Praia da Malagueta é um local popular para desportos aquáticos, como paddle surf e voleibol de praia. É também um ótimo lugar para passear, especialmente ao entardecer, quando as temperaturas são mais amenas e a vista do pôr do sol sobre o mar é espetacular. 6. **Ambiente**: A praia tem um ambiente animado e cosmopolita, atraindo tanto locais quanto turistas. Nos meses de verão, é comum encontrar eventos culturais e música ao vivo. 7. **Acessibilidade**: A Praia da Malagueta é acessível a pessoas com mobilidade reduzida, com rampas e passadiços que facilitam o acesso à areia. Esta praia é um excelente local para desfrutar de um dia relaxante ao sol, com todas as comodidades necessárias e um ambiente vibrante.

Positive experience: Being La Malagueta, it didn't give us a good impression due to the dirt that, in contrast with the city, was on the beach. The tourists laying on the grass... on a beach!!! It has gotten out of hand because there were remnants of night parties, etc., etc.... For being a city beach and such a tourist attraction, I think it should set an example.

Negative experience: Super sucia el agua y la playa con tiritas, escupitajos, una capa de aceite y plasticos más lo que el ojo no puede detectar). Al salir de la playa nuestros pies y manos estaban cubiertos con una capa de mugre. Me entristece mucho ver la situación ecológica en la que estamos y como así la gente sigue deja do colillas, con has de pipas y plásticos en la arena.

Fantastic experience: El paseo marítimo de Málaga es una joya costera que ofrece impresionantes vistas al mar, amplias aceras para caminar, correr o andar en bicicleta, y una gran variedad de restaurantes y bares para disfrutar de la gastronomía local. Desde la playa de La Malagueta hasta el barrio de El Palo, este paseo es una experiencia inolvidable que combina la belleza natural del mar con la cultura y la diversión de la ciudad.

Roberto Pck (Pocky) 3 years ago

Positive experience: Bella spiaggia non lontana dal centro e ben accessibile a piedi, attrezzata in più punti con ombrelloni e lettini da affittare e dai classici chiringuitos uno più bello dell'altro! Servono ottimo cibo, ma ci sono sempre lunghe file di attesa per un posto a sedere, ma fidatevi che ne vale la pena. Alla fine della spiaggia c'è anche un parco giochi galleggiante ed altre attrazioni per il divertimento. Se siete a Malaga è un posto da frequentare almeno una giornata.

Ricardo Hernández Sánchez 4 years ago

Positive experience: Me ha gustado para pasar un día de playa. He optado por dejar el coche en un parking, no parecía que haya mucho sitio. La playa grande y espaciosa. El mar con olas pero muy divertido. Un lugar muy agradable. Con servicios básicos y un entorno muy bonito.

Davide Badertscher 5 years ago

Positive experience: La spiaggia é molto pulita, ben fornita e interamente gratuita (munirsi di ombrellone), ma con piccole zolle qua e la di lettini a pagamento con ombrellone, per gli sprovvisti come me. Ci sono molte zone "palestra" per potersi allenare, campetti da pallavolo recintati e giochi per grandi e piccini, sia in acqua che sulla spiaggia. Fornita di docce pubbliche e servizi igienici. I locali sulla spiaggia sono molto belli e propongono specialità marittime, consigliatissime le sarde alla brace e diversi altri molluschi. L'unica pecca é la vicinanza al porto con sovente passaggio di grandi navi cargo. Comunque perfetta per una giornata al mare.

Positive experience: A beach like many others in Spain. It doesn't stand out in any way, and supposedly it is the most beautiful beach in Malaga. But it is always a good place to relax from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the season, it is very crowded, so it's worth going to other nearby beaches!!! It is worth mentioning that this beach has green islands with palm trees, which definitely distinguishes it from other beaches.

Positive experience: This is the typical beach where tourists, locals from Malaga, but especially the Latinos who live here go. It is close to the Port and the Pompidou Center. I found it quite dirty and very crowded. Several of them were smoking marijuana and listening to music at full blast, which is not pleasant at all.

Positive experience: The first part (the one with the sign) is not the best. The sand is quite dirty and the sea is often rough. A little further ahead, after the games, there is a much nicer cove. It’s worth taking a few more steps. I went in August and I had the impression that the establishments are not 'transparent'. Despite there being free umbrellas and numerous stacked sunbeds, they always said they were FULL. They probably keep them for people who eat there or those who book for more than one day. There are 'guys' who walk by with cocktails at 5 euros (sangria and mojito). Nice idea, it’s a shame that the liquids in the glass are terrible and have nothing to do with cocktails, but at least they are fresh. Nearby there are restaurants and a very convenient Carrefour especially for drinks or fresh fruit. PS: you can get there from the center with a walk of about half an hour or by passing through a nice garden or an avenue.

Fantastic experience: A must-visit in Malaga! The beach is quite clean due to its location, with beach bars offering good espetos and other fish and seafood, and the people are lovely. BEWARE, because there is the occasional thief and you need to keep an eye on your personal belongings. We witnessed a person trying to grab a bag, but thanks to a good couple and a couple of shouts, they were able to scare him off and he didn't come back. But you need to stay alert.

Positive experience: To be honest, I was expecting something different. The water was quite dirty, there were even a couple of plastic cups, along with other debris and some thin greenish foam stains. The water temperature was great, but the sand temperature.... unbelievable!!! In just 4 meters from the towel to the water, I burned the soles of my feet. That had never happened to me at any beach, no matter how hot it was. The sand is very staining and super sticky. Other than that, at every step, there is a beach bar to eat and refresh yourself. The showers and foot washers are closed due to drought.

Positive experience: It's a calm beach full of neighbors and people who know each other, waiting and saving spots. I don't know who or why they filled it with stones and dirt. Did they want to ruin it? They didn't succeed... There are no shower and water services, it’s a shame due to the drought.

Positive experience: Nice beach.. So close to the road.. There are a couple of toilets but they were really dirty. The beach itself is clean but a bit crowded. Would definitely recommend a visit if you need some chill time in Málaga.

Positive experience: We arrived here early in the morning, where there was almost nobody. Was hard to find a clean space on the shore to sit. The water was sufficiently clear, even if it's next to the port of Malaga. Providing more care, it can be a 5 stars place.

Positive experience: Beach a bit crowded during this August period. Unfortunately, cigarette butts and other small junk in the sand. Otherwise, several small beach bars are spread along the beach to refresh and enjoy local dishes.

Positive experience: Very large beach and right in the city center. It can be reached by crossing the promenade of the port where there are all the local shops. There are free spaces where you can settle down without problems. For the heat, I recommend bringing an umbrella or renting one on-site, because after 1 hour you can’t stand it anymore. The sea is not exceptional and the water is colder than what we are used to in Italy.

Positive experience: For a beach in the heart of the city, it is clean and spacious on most days especially weekday mornings. Avoid weekend afternoons, it tends to get overcrowded with tourists, and water quality becomes questionable.

Positive experience: Very long, wide, sandy beach. Basically in the city. The sand is grayish, and on hot days, you need to wear flip-flops because the sand is so hot that it burns your feet. There are showers, but when we were there, they weren't working.

Positive experience: Beautiful sand but the sea is cold. When we were there, at around 4 PM, the beach was very dirty (plastic and other debris thrown among the towels). The civility of everyone certainly needs to improve.

Positive experience: I recommend water shoes. The shore is made of small pebbles. The sand is very dirty and super hot. The beach is wide. The water is not very clean. Sunbeds with a parasol cost 18 Euro. Drinks are served for 5 Euro, sometimes they go down to 4. There is no water coming from the showers, not even to rinse your feet. There is a toilet, but the light didn't work.

Positive experience: Early in the morning until 12 o'clock there are fewer people, the only thing is that there are a lot of butts... smoking should be banned on all beaches or at least have designated areas with trash bins to avoid this kind of inconvenience.

Positive experience: Ogólnie bardzo fajne miejsce. Super knajpki z pysznym hedzenuem. Leżaki i parasole w rozsądnej cenie. Plaża w miarę czysta, woda w morzu orzeźwiająca. Ale ogromny minus dla władz miasta! Jest lipiec czyli szczyt sezonu, a prysznice nie działają! No jakiś absurd totalny! Wychodzisz z morza i leżysz cały od soli. Byliśmy kilka dni i nikt tego bie naprawił. W Polsce byłoby to nie do pomyślenia. Usterka choćby nie wiem jak duża, zostałaby usunięta natychmiast. Toalety też nie wszystkie sprawne.. także sama plaża na 5* ale organizacja na 1*, zatem ogólnie 3*. Takie rzeczy nie powinny mieć miejsca w cywilizowanym kraju!

Positive experience: Bella spiaggia e a luglio ancora vivibile. I lettini erano già tutti presi alle 10, ma acquistando un ombrellone a 10 euro al supermercato siamo riusciti a goderci la spiaggia. L'acqua è pulita, ma molto fredda.

Positive experience: Het strand zelf is erg goed, iets steviger zand maar nog steeds fijn on op te liggen. Veel verkopers maar die zijn niet zo vervelend, veel goeie strandtentjes. De zee ligt wel vol met schelpen en kleine steentjes, dat is wat minder.

Kawther Al-Mandalawi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Väldigt fint strand med olika aktiviteter och härlig varm upplevelse. Stranden brukar brinna av värmen under dagen bättre att hitta plats bredvid träden för att få lite skydd och härlig luft i värmen. Bra att ta med sig mat och drycka annars omkring platsen finns stora möjligheter till både mat och dryck.

Aqui estão algumas informações sobre esta praia: 1. **Localização**: Situada perto do centro da cidade de Málaga, a Praia da Malagueta fica a uma curta distância do porto e da famosa Calle Larios. A sua proximidade com o centro urbano faz dela uma opção conveniente para residentes e turistas. 2. **Características**: A praia tem cerca de 1,2 quilómetros de comprimento e uma largura média de 45 metros. A areia é escura, característica das praias desta região, e a água é geralmente calma, tornando-a adequada para nadar e relaxar. 3. **Infraestruturas**: A Praia da Malagueta está bem equipada com diversas comodidades, incluindo chuveiros, sanitários, áreas de recreação infantil, e uma boa oferta de bares e restaurantes conhecidos como "chiringuitos". Estes estabelecimentos oferecem uma variedade de pratos, especialmente frutos do mar e a famosa "espetada de sardinhas". 4. **Segurança**: Durante a época alta, a praia conta com serviço de salvamento e primeiros socorros, assegurando a segurança dos banhistas. 5. **Atividades**: Além de nadar e apanhar sol, a Praia da Malagueta é um local popular para desportos aquáticos, como paddle surf e voleibol de praia. É também um ótimo lugar para passear, especialmente ao entardecer, quando as temperaturas são mais amenas e a vista do pôr do sol sobre o mar é espetacular. 6. **Ambiente**: A praia tem um ambiente animado e cosmopolita, atraindo tanto locais quanto turistas. Nos meses de verão, é comum encontrar eventos culturais e música ao vivo. 7. **Acessibilidade**: A Praia da Malagueta é acessível a pessoas com mobilidade reduzida, com rampas e passadiços que facilitam o acesso à areia.

Positive experience: Bella. Sia spiaggia libera, tanta, che le parti attrezzate. In queste ultime affittano sdraio e ombrellone a 9 o 10 euro, che affittano fino a 2 persone. Ossia, se vai da solo, puoi trovarti un'altra persona a cui viene affittato lo stesso ombrellone con un lettino. Passano tantissimi venditori di bibite (l'urlo più ricorrente e' "mojito....sangria"....) e qualche massaggiatrice cinese. A ridosso delle spiagge, tantissimi locali...bar...ristoranti...alimentari. Mare non eccelso ma nemmeno troppo negativo. Acqua tendenzialmente sul freddo. Consiglio affitto di ombrellone per non stare troppo accalcati nella parte libera.

marco mancinella 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Mare sole tanta gente.... ma nn e ricvione e malaga e la malagueta. Spiaggia di Sassetti e sassi non pulitissima ma vivibile. Se venite portatevi un ombrellone ma per mangiare e bere bi consiglio il negozio cinese al di là della strada. Fornitissimo ed economico.

Positive experience: Spiaggia molto grande e ben fornita. L'ho però trovata sporca e piena di rifiuti nella sabbia, tra le cicche di sigaretta e bottiglie. Il mare è molto fredda e mare tutto sommato bello. Particolare la presenza di pappagallini

Davide Aromi 1 year ago

Positive experience: Playa veramente bella. Da evitare solo la zona vicino la scritta " Malagueta". Consiglio di farla tutta a piedi e di fermarsi vicino alla sbarramento fatto con le rocce. Li sembra di stare in una piscina naturale.

Giuliana Manfredi 1 year ago

Positive experience: Me pareció que era una playa muy cercana a la ciudad y al casco antiguo lo que hace que se llene mucho, es algo estrecha en relación a las otras. Personalmente prefiero moverme e ir a una con menos gente, pero estaba muy bonita y cuidada

Dr Francisco Javier Flores Ardila 1 year ago

Negative experience: Super sucia el agua y la playa con tiritas, escupitajos, una capa de aceite y plasticos más lo que el ojo no puede detectar). Al salir de la playa nuestros pies y manos estaban cubiertos con una capa de mugre. Me entristece mucho ver la situación ecológica en la que estamos y como así la gente sigue deja do colillas, con has de pipas y plásticos en la arena.
