Playa de Torre de Benagalbón, Mediterranean beach in Rincón de la Victoria, Spain
Playa de Torre de Benagalbón is a semi-urban beach of dark sand in the Torre de Benagalbón district of Rincón de la Victoria, on the Costa del Sol in Málaga province. It runs about 700 metres long and averages some 25 metres wide, with a medium level of use. It continues the beach of Rincón de la Victoria but has no seaside promenade, and it offers all kinds of services.
A watchtower built in the 16th century sits near the shoreline as a reminder of past sea raids that once threatened this coast. The structure marks an era when maritime defenses were essential to protect settlements from invasion.
The restaurants bordering the shoreline source fresh seafood from local fishermen and prepare dishes using recipes passed down through generations. Visitors can taste this connection between the sea and the land when dining at these establishments.
The beach has no seafront promenade, so access is from the streets of Torre de Benagalbón. It offers all kinds of services, including showers, sunbeds and umbrellas, and parking near the main road. It is about 700 m long and 25 m wide on average, with a medium level of occupancy.
The beach has no seafront promenade, unlike the built-up Rincón de la Victoria beach it continues; its 700 m of dark sand run behind the Torre de Benagalbón town centre. The 16th-century watchtower that gives the area its name stands as the main landmark.
