Playa de Huelin, Urban beach in Carretera de Cádiz district, Málaga, Spain
Playa de Huelin is an urban beach extending about 700 meters with dark sand and pebbles, roughly 15 meters wide, sloping toward the Mediterranean. Rental loungers and umbrellas line the shore alongside showers and foot-washing stations for visitor comfort.
The beach developed as part of the growth of the Carretera de Cádiz neighborhood, which became an established urban district starting in the 20th century. This transformation shifted the area from an undeveloped coastline into a central residential and leisure destination.
Street artists and performers animate the waterfront promenade, while the dining establishments serve fresh catches and regional Andalusian dishes. The beach life here reflects the everyday rhythm of the city, where locals and visitors naturally blend.
The beach offers lounger and umbrella rentals plus dressing areas and designated water sports zones, making it accessible throughout the day. Plan to arrive early morning or late afternoon when it is less crowded and the sun is less intense.
The shore lies within walking distance of both the Automobile Museum and the Russian Art Museum, two separate institutions that culture enthusiasts can easily explore. This pairing makes the area a multi-faceted destination for both beach and museum visits.
