Playa El Bajondillo, Mediterranean beach in Torremolinos, Spain.
Playa El Bajondillo is a long sandy beach in Torremolinos stretching along the Mediterranean coast with soft golden sand and wave conditions suitable for swimming and water sports. The beach is bordered by a modern waterfront promenade lined with restaurants, bars, and beach services that make it easily accessible for day visitors.
The area was a modest fishing hamlet before the 1960s when Spanish coastal development transformed it into a thriving beach destination. This rapid shift from a quiet village to a crowded resort changed Torremolinos forever and established the region as a major tourist hub.
The beachfront chiringuitos and restaurants draw locals and visitors together for meals with sea views, reflecting how the sand and water have become central to daily social life in Torremolinos. You can see this shared rhythm in how people gather throughout the day, from swimmers early in the morning to families in the evening.
The beach has showers, changing facilities, and lifeguards stationed throughout the day, with sun loungers and umbrellas available for rent at various points. Nearby parking is abundant, and convenient elevator access connects the sand directly to the town center above the cliffs.
The beach holds Blue Flag certification for maintaining high environmental and cleanliness standards, a distinction awarded to only the cleanest and most responsible coastal areas. This recognition reflects the ongoing effort to keep the waters and sand in excellent condition year-round.
