Playa de la Carihuela

The 2-kilometer stretch of Mediterranean shoreline features dark sand, shallow waters, and a continuous pedestrian promenade lined with palm trees.

Before becoming a tourist destination in the 1950s, the beach served as the center of a traditional fishing community with small houses and fishing boats.

Local restaurants along the beachfront specialize in Mediterranean seafood dishes, particularly the preparation of fresh fish according to Andalusian recipes.

The beach provides numerous facilities including sun loungers, showers, lifeguard stations, water sports equipment rentals, and designated areas for disabled access.

The beach connects directly to Puerto Marina of Benalmadena at its western end, offering additional maritime activities and shopping opportunities.
