Playa de San Andrés, Mediterranean beach in Málaga, Spain
Playa de San Andrés is a sandy beach on the Mediterranean coast in Málaga. It stretches from the Guadalhorce river mouth to the port and features showers, restrooms, sun lounger rentals, lifeguard services, and multiple access points from the coastal promenade.
The area was originally a fishing ground and was transformed into a bathing beach beginning in the 1960s. This change was part of the major tourism development along the Costa del Sol.
The beachfront restaurants serve fish and seafood caught by local fishermen who land their daily haul directly here. This way of preparing meals has been part of life at this location for generations.
The beach is easily accessible from the coastal promenade with multiple entry points available. Visitors should note that water conditions and quality can vary depending on the season and weather.
At the point where the river meets the sea, special conditions attract numerous coastal bird species. This bird diversity can be observed throughout the year and makes the location a natural spot for bird watchers.
