Playa de los Boliches, Sand beach in Fuengirola, Spain.
Playa de los Boliches is a sand beach with golden sand and Mediterranean waters along the Costa del Sol in Fuengirola, stretching approximately 1.5 kilometers. The water is clear and the wide sandy shore offers ample space for swimming and relaxing.
This location evolved from a small fishing village where traditional boats called 'boliches' operated into a developed coastal destination during the 1960s tourism boom. The transformation shaped the wider Costa del Sol and attracted international visitors to the shore.
The beachfront restaurants serve regional Andalusian dishes, particularly fresh seafood from local fishing boats that still operate in the area today.
The beach offers rental services for sun loungers, umbrellas, and water sports equipment, with lifeguards monitoring the shore during summer months. Access is good, with public facilities including toilets and showers available along the beach.
The beach has direct rail access via a dedicated station that connects visitors to Malaga Airport and other Costa del Sol destinations. This connection makes arrival straightforward and allows exploration of the area without a car.
