I like this beach. It's usually easier to get to than the other one I like which is easily about 3km away. I like the grassy areas with the palm trees as I don't really like sand. It's nice to walk along side the beach too and you can walk a very long distance. There are toilet and showers near. Some parts of the beach you can rent sunloungers under parasols. There's usually little kiosks nearby for ice creams, snacks, drinks etc. Some areas of the beach also have beach side resturants. The only downsides to the beach (which I think is typical for most beaches) are the people wandering up and down trying to sell you things. (Tip, headphones in, sunglasses on and pretend to be asleep). There was a guy trying to sell beach towels despite being able to see I am actually on a towel. But there's also a guy selling cold drinks which is good for when you are feeling thirsty but too lazy to move, and a couple of ladies go round offering massages which I've had a couple of and they're not bad but they will try and sell you more massages. The other downside is the litter, usually lots of cigarette ends, bottle caps, empty tins / bottles despite being plenty of bins around (i guess the drinking at night as its mainly beer bottles). There is a crew that cleans up some of the beach but they really can't get everything. But if you have a towel then it's not too bad, and every beach has a degree of litter.

The beach itself is ok, clean and well-kept. Every few tens of meters there are garbage bins, 4 each for sorting organic waste and for recycling - a very nice thing. Sand is a bit different, more like dust, but it's not a problem if you didn't take your towel or white clothes. Another thing about the sand - the layer is a bit thin to normal and you may have difficulty installing the umbrella. So you may need extra support as under this layer is another hard layer of rock that cannot be penetrated. On hot days, your feet may burn and you may need footwear. The water is very clean, but I understand it depends on how big the waves are. The shore is a bit steep and deep, so that only 3-4 meters from the beach the depth can reach over 1 -1.7 meter. The clarity may be due to the pebbles that would replace the sand. Just because they are not too big, they do not create much discomfort. The next beach, however, is less crowded, but there are a lot of large stones that can cause you fractures or serious shocks/injuries. On the beach there are also a few restaurants/stalls where drinks and food are sold (a pint of beer is €4.00). The showers on the beach are not working, probably due to the drought. The boardwalk by the beach is simply wonderful.

Playa La Malagueta in Malaga is a true gem along the Costa del Sol, offering visitors a picturesque setting to unwind and soak in the beauty of the Mediterranean coast. My experience at this beach was nothing short of delightful. Upon arriving at Playa La Malagueta, I was immediately struck by the pristine cleanliness of the beach. The golden sands stretched out before me, inviting me to kick off my shoes and take a leisurely stroll along the shore. The water was crystal clear, perfect for a refreshing swim or simply dipping my toes in to cool off. One of the highlights of my visit was watching the sunset from Playa La Malagueta. As the sky painted hues of orange and pink across the horizon, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe. It was the perfect backdrop for sipping a glass of wine and reflecting on the beauty of the moment.

For a city beach, this is a great one - just minutes away from the city center. I has plenty of amenities- little cafes, playground for children, green area shaded by the palm trees and chezlongs with umbrellas. The toilets are free of charge and in the afternoon can get really dirty; the chezlongs are quite pricey - 12 EUR, and this was in january!!! The beach itself is pretty clean and if you take a stroll you can reach the port with plenty of cafes and shops.

Malagueta Beach, close to Málaga’s city center, offers a lively urban beach experience with golden sands and calm Mediterranean waters. It’s perfect for sunbathing and swimming, with palm-lined promenades and plenty of beach bars (chiringuitos) serving fresh seafood. While convenient and vibrant, it can get crowded and isn’t as peaceful as more secluded beaches. Ideal for a quick escape with city views.

Visited in February, the weather was pleasant to sit down and enjoy the waves. Some bars where open so overall it's a nice beach near the city. You cannot expect a tropical beach though ;) I bet in summer it's pretty crowded and the water not so clean. Nice to have pictures of the Malagueta sign. Malaga is a party city :) if you are young that's the place for you. Would recommend to go at least once
