Playa de la Fontanilla

Roughly 1 km of dark golden sand directly below Marbella's seafront promenade, lined with cafés, restaurants and a few long-running chiringuitos. It has showers, restrooms, a Red Cross post and lifeguards in summer, plus step-free access and water sports in season. Parking is tight; the paid lots near the marina or Avenida del Mar are the practical choice. It flew the Blue Flag again in 2026.
