Fantastic experience: Very well equipped, from breakfast to dinner. Nearby parking, you can choose where to eat from many styles, whether it's food, Italian, local cuisine, salads... the beaches are clean, the water is shallow... a pleasure
Positive experience: The beach is not very clean but acceptable in that sense. There is plenty of parking (in the sun and on land) but in the summer there are always attendants. And although there is a lot of parking, in summer you need to go early to be somewhat close to the water. The water is usually good, and it does not cover for several meters inland.
Fantastic experience: Easy access and parking on side streets about 200m from the beach with convenience. Calm beach with clear waters and few waves.
Fantastic experience: Blue flag for the best beach in the capital of the Costa del Sol, clean sand and waters, restrooms, water park, kiosks, restaurants, walkways from the promenade to almost the water, accessible for people with disabilities, paddle surf schools, an oasis of grass and palm trees, showers and footbaths, playgrounds, police surveillance........ a luxurious beach within reach of all Malaguenos and visitors.
Fantastic experience: Wide beach, easily accessible. During less crowded hours, easy to park. It has play parks for the little ones, water games outside the sand, and bathrooms (although not very close). Ideal for watching moonrises or sunrises.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, super long, quite peaceful and very sunny. At the end of this beach, there is a space for pets.
Positive experience: A pesar de las prohibiciones,hacen caso omiso y pasean a sus perros por la orilla.... Se precisa más vigilancia policial... También para los monopatines y bicis,para q respeten su carril. El problema es cuestión de educación vial e integral.
Positive experience: Buena playa pero en verano algo turbia. Asistencia minusválidos y carpa para facilitar sus cambios. Duchas y entrada en rampa. Carril de nado para actividades de travesía y línea de costa. Espigón para pesca deportiva en la cercanía.
Negative experience: Pues me encantan los perros y en general todos los animales, de hecho en mi familia tenemos muchos perros, pero no veo correcto que algunos dueños se los lleven a la playa por higiene y por educación. Voy casi todos los días a darme un baño o tomar el sol y cada vez hay más perros y gatitos. Deberían de vigilar más. Y no es que me vaya a otra playita porque también pasa lo mismo.
Fantastic experience: Praia de areia vulcânica mar flat agua quente limpa muito espaço para estacionar

Fantastic experience: I love it. Sand and shallow.
Positive experience: It's okay, but it lacks places with shade and water to wash off the sand, even if it's just for the feet. The promenade has water with a few attractions for kids that should be open for a couple of hours so they can enjoy. Look at the town hall we have here; there's water in the swamps, otherwise, there are desalination plants for that.
Positive experience: We spent the day there, but it is a beach full of stones and the people are very dirty, they threw everything into the sea and it was a bit unpleasant, the only good thing was my company.

Positive experience: The food is very good and the location is beautiful on the beach. I could have given the restaurant 5 stars, but the salad could have been presented better. As for the rest of the food, it is great.

Fantastic experience: Una Playa muy Linda,muy limpia Ordenada con todo lo Q se necesita para pasar un rato muy agradable,agua muy clara,arena muy limpia perfecta para pasar con la familia, Facil asceso buen parking seguridad y cerca de todo
Positive experience: La tengo a 1km de donde vivo, por lo que la frecuento mucho. Playa de ciudad con todos los servicios que uno espera, chiringuitos, duchas, socorristas, aparcamiento. De arena polvorienta fuera y poco profunda y tambien arena dentro. Se masifica los domingos, como todas las playas en verano.
Fantastic experience: Playa familiar, accesible a personas de diversidad funcional y mayores. Cuenta con certificación de accesibilidad universal y calidad turística, paseo marítimo, personal para el baño, rampas, servicios, duchas, socorrista... Ideal para niños por la poca profundidad del agua (no cubre). Además cuenta con zonas de ocio infantiles, parque acuático, zonas deportivas... De fácil acceso en coche y bus.
Fantastic experience: Adaptado a sillas de ruedas, con servicios de cruz roja. Tiene aseos y cambiadores. Tiene socorristas. Es una playa amplia muy concurrida por gente de la zona y cada vez más turismo.
Fantastic experience: Playa con un paseo marítimo precioso, zona de acceso a la playa para discapacitados y con asistencia, socorristas, chiringuitos, duchas... No le falta de nada y estos días la he estado viendo muy limpia. ¡Recomendable! Por cierto, para ir con niños es perfecta ya que tiene una orilla bajita y no coge profundidad hasta que te alejas bastante.

Fantastic experience: surf
Positive experience: The sea was very rough yesterday and today, but there were many surfers and they were having fun.
Positive experience: Muy bien el agua, la arena, las canchas de voleibol. Sólo es algo incómodo las personas practicando surfing en el mismo lugar de las personas disfrutando del agua y es un riesgo de accidente.

Fantastic experience: Ideal para los niños porque es bajita. Aquí se bañaron mis hijos de pequeños y lo pasaban pipa. Hoy tienen columpios y parque infantil. Hay un parque de aguas. Y un paseo marítimo muy bonito. En julio y agosto la playa está muy masificada, sobre todo los festivos y vísperas.

Positive experience: The sea was very rough yesterday and today, but there were many surfers and they were having fun.
Fantastic experience: A corner of Malaga where you can enjoy the sea on its beach, savor a good dish in the many beach bars in the area, and entertain the little ones.
Positive experience: Spiaggia urbana con sabbia marrone di grana media e sassolini. E abbastanza ampia e lunga un paio di km. Ci sono diversi posti di soccorso e alcuni punti con noleggio ombrelloni e lettini. Dietro alla spiaggia un bel lungomare ciclabile pedonale per pasegiare e fermarsi a mangiare

Fantastic experience: Nuestra playa favorita desde hace años. Es bastante fácil aparcar ( dependiendo obviamente de la hora a la que llegues, a partir de las 11 de la mañana, olvídate). Lo mejor, es que la playa es de arena, no de piedrecillas, por lo que es bastante cómodo estar en la orilla. Es muy poco profunda hasta bien entrado al agua, así que si hay olas, se hace muy divertido para los peques y sin peligro.

Misericordia Beach: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Beautiful views of the beach and a wide square

Positive experience: Calm beach, making the most of the last days
Fantastic experience: Very well equipped, from breakfast to dinner. Nearby parking, you can choose where to eat from many styles, whether it's food, Italian, local cuisine, salads... the beaches are clean, the water is shallow... a pleasure
Positive experience: A nice vibrant place, especially in the evening until late at night. The downside is that the restrooms located on the promenade close too early, at 8 PM, and the showers on the beach are not operational, which is another downside.
Positive experience: Good beach with plenty of services
Positive experience: The beach is not very clean but acceptable in that sense. There is plenty of parking (in the sun and on land) but in the summer there are always attendants.

Positive experience: The exit is very poorly designed
Positive experience: It's my favorite place to go for my walks.
Positive experience: Good beach but very dirty
Positive experience: We spent the day there, but it is a beach full of stones and the people are very dirty, they threw everything into the sea and it was a bit unpleasant, the only good thing was my company.
Positive experience: Non-functional showers.
Positive experience: Wide charming beach by the cold sea. At the edge of the promenade and the beach, there are beautiful patches of grass where you can spend time. The beach is crowded in the afternoon. Crowds of locals from nearby houses spend time here. Since Spaniards eat and celebrate on the beach with their families, it's noisy. There are ramps for disabled people. Info for Poles: this is not a beach like in Dębki or Sopot. The sand is gray and rough. The sea, which no one has mentioned until now, is COLD. It is 19/20 degrees in July. It is also windy on the beach. The bars are great, I recommend the summer wine. Sunbed costs 6 euros.
Negative experience: Very neglected place.
Fantastic experience: Shallow beach ideal for children

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches to go with children since it doesn't cover anything.
Fantastic experience: It is a very family-friendly beach; in some parts of its stretch, there are beach bars and you feel very comfortable.
Positive experience: The Town Hall should pay a little more attention to that beach, the water is not as good as it should be.
Fantastic experience: It is a very good beach to go with children.
Fantastic experience: Perfect beach when taking children, because it is shallow and the kids enjoy it.
Negative experience: Beach 0 not recommended for anyone. Google won't let me use certain words because it cancels my review, but to anyone who hasn't been here yet, don't come in the summer to this beach. And especially not on a weekend. It’s incredible how dirty and rude people are at this beach. The amount of trash they leave behind on the beach without questioning themselves or feeling bad about leaving a natural place like it’s a dump. I attached images of waste left by a group of young promises, and I hope life returns to them as they do to nature and a bunch of trash left by a family of git… By the way. Something incredible. When I was leaving the beach, there was a man telling his daughters to leave the trash there, not to pick it up. What a great responsibility it is to have children and how many people shouldn't have them.
Fantastic experience: Wide beach, easily accessible. During less crowded hours, easy to park. It has play parks for the little ones, water games outside the sand, and bathrooms (although not very close). Ideal for watching moonrises or sunrises.
Positive experience: Calm sea and wonderful water
Positive experience: The best thing here is the restaurants.
Positive experience: It's a pity that some of the people who enjoy it don't know how to pick up everything they leave lying on the sand.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach, a sunset at this beach is incredible.
Positive experience: Clean and well-kept, but with no water to wash feet, which is understandable given the drought.
Positive experience: Good beach to spend a day with family and friends, the parking is good.
Negative experience: Very dirty and neglected by the city council. A lot of trash arrives with the tide. A better service from the treatment plants wouldn't hurt.
Fantastic experience: surf
Positive experience: Spacious beach. Nice beach bars. Few parking spaces.
Fantastic experience: Great sandy beach. The sand is fine and dark.
Fantastic experience: If you are a sea enthusiast, this is a good spot.
Positive experience: For me, a classic. I park my van around there. I like it.
Positive experience: I often go, I like it.
Fantastic experience: I remember that in the 80s it was a disaster, but for years now the beach has been very clean. Since the boardwalk was built, it has improved considerably, with well-equipped beach bars. It is a great place to walk, sunbathe, exercise, or take a ride on a bike or scooter.
Positive experience: A great beach.
Fantastic experience: Very spacious beach. In summer, it is not usually very crowded. And in winter, it's perfect for walking by the shore with your dogs.
Positive experience: The sea was very rough yesterday and today, but there were many surfers and they were having fun.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful, long beach, great for walking
Positive experience: Service is fast, but rude. Close to the beach.
Fantastic experience: Wide and family-friendly beach, shallow depth and a promenade to stroll and enjoy it. I hope they finish the remaining section of the promenade soon.
Positive experience: Everything very clean compared to other cities
Negative experience: Filthy. The beach is covered in wet wipes and bits of plastic. It doesn't seem to shock many people, I don't understand. It's the dirtiest beach I've ever seen. Very very disappointed.
Fantastic experience: A corner of Malaga where you can enjoy the sea on its beach, savor a good dish in the many beach bars in the area, and entertain the little ones.
Fantastic experience: It is very clean, there are very handsome men with good bodies.
Positive experience: Today is a special day at Gaviotas. This is the beach for many locals from Málaga; it doesn't have the best sand, but it's where we spend our summers. It has showers, restaurants, and the most important thing, the sun, which is a wonder. We should enjoy it as much as we can. Ahhhh, and anyone coming from outside will always be warmly welcomed. Long live Málaga.
Fantastic experience: It is the closest beach to my residence. The promenade is very crowded and there are multiple beach bars. I usually exercise, although I have to admit that you need to know what time to go running due to the crowd of people. It is not one of the best in Malaga, but at least it is something.
Fantastic experience: Great stroll and magnificent beach bars where you can have a drink, a snack, or eat.
Fantastic experience: It's a wide beach, with good sand and shady spots.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, good quality - price, pleasant and quiet place, definitely worth repeating.
Positive experience: Magnificent beach.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful views, I recommend them
Fantastic experience: Perfect for walks, sports, swimming
Fantastic experience: Excellent beach for volleyball
Fantastic experience: I love the beach, the only thing is that there were stones on the shore. But it's quite nice.
Fantastic experience: A beach as always, family-friendly and good atmosphere. Perfect for older adults and young children, due to the sand and its shallow depth.
Positive experience: Nice beach. Out this far from the downtown, it's easy to get parked, and the beach wasn't crowded at all.
Fantastic experience: First class beach on the first day of 2020
Positive experience: does anyone know if the beach volleyball here is active and if they have contact details?
Positive experience: Perfect for the fireworks at the start of the summer. The parking lot was a little dirty. We stayed with our camper overnight it was good fun.
