From April to October

From the time that it was first viewed as an international tourist destination more than half a century ago, the Costa del Sol has steadily solidified the status of the surrounding sun-drenched beaches as its tourism trump card. The geographic characteristics of the Málaga coast are ideal for drawing tourist traffic to this region, considering that in the Mediterranean there are very few areas that can offer more than 160 kilometres of coast dotted with a succession of beaches with such diverse characteristics. The Costa del Sol is not short of beaches to relax on, ranging from the long, popular stretches of sand in Malaga and Torremolinos to the unspoilt secluded beaches of Cabo de Gata, which are backed by a national park. If quieter beaches are what you want then Cala de la Media Luna and Playa de Mónsul in Cabo de Gata are recommended, while the beaches of Bajondillo and La Carihuela in Torremolinos are ideal for those looking for more facilities and the creature comforts of a tourist hotspot. Other nice sections of coast include Nerja, where there are many palm-fringed beaches, and Marbella, where the Caba Pino beach is popular with nudists. But if you prefer to keep yourself covered up, head to Victors Beach or Don Carlos.
