The Best Beaches to Escape the Hustle and Bustle of the Malaga Fair

While the Malaga Fair is a must-attend event if you visit Malaga in August and where you will find the greatest enjoyment of Spanish culture, it can sometimes be overwhelming. For those seeking a peaceful break during their stay on the Costa del Sol, there is no better option than to enjoy some of its most serene and less crowded beaches. Below, GR Estates presents a selection of beaches where you can relax, far from the hustle and bustle of the fair, and enjoy the sun and sea at their finest.

Carvajal Beach, Fuengirola

Located on the border between Fuengirola and Benalmádena, Carvajal Beach is a peaceful spot that often goes unnoticed by tourists. With crystal-clear waters and golden sands, this beach is ideal for those looking for a more relaxed environment. In addition, it offers a wide range of beach bars where you can savour delicious fresh fish dishes, all with stunning views of the Mediterranean, such as the famous La Cubana beach bar.

Torreblanca Beach

Another hidden gem in Fuengirola is Torreblanca Beach. Less known than its neighbours, this beach offers a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for families and couples who want to enjoy a sunny day without the typical August high-season crowds. The access is easy, and the beach is well-equipped with basic services, making it an excellent option for those looking for comfort without sacrificing tranquillity.

Cabopino Beach, Marbella

A short drive from Fuengirola, you'll find Cabopino Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches on the Costa del Sol. This beach is known for its natural dunes and protected environment, making it the perfect place to disconnect. The nearby marina adds a quaint touch, and the waters are calm and safe for swimming. If you're looking for a place to get away from the noise and enjoy nature, Cabopino is the ideal choice.

La Cala Beach, Mijas Costa

La Cala de Mijas is a fantastic option for those seeking a more authentic beach experience. With its coastal village atmosphere and blue-flag beach, it's a place where you can relax and enjoy the local life. The waters here are calm, perfect for a refreshing swim, and the nearby restaurants and bars ensure you'll always have something delicious to enjoy while you unwind. Strolling through the small Cala de Mijas, enjoying a sunset drink, or spending a day at the beach with your family at the beach bar and feeling the sea breeze... it's priceless!

Los Álamos Beach, Torremolinos

Although Torremolinos is known for its nightlife and crowded beaches, Los Álamos Beach offers a break from the hustle and bustle. Located at the eastern end of the town, this beach is quieter and less frequented by tourists, with a large stretch of sand where you will surely find a spot without hassle. Its promenade is perfect for a relaxing walk, and its beach bars offer excellent local cuisine, with a much more relaxed atmosphere than the main beaches. Additionally, it has a wide range of beachfront clubs for the younger crowd, so there's something for everyone.

Enjoy the Costa del Sol at Your Own Pace

While the fair and events in Malaga can be very exciting and offer unique experiences, the Costa del Sol also offers numerous places where you can unwind and enjoy tranquillity. These beaches are just some of the many options available for those seeking a serene escape in the midst of the high season bustle.
