Los vientos dominantes de dirección noroeste y las corrientes litorales aportaron incesantemente materiales arenosos hasta formar un cordón dunar de una veintena de kilómetros de longitud. En la actualidad, este cordón se ha visto reducido, permaneciendo el Monumento Natural de las Dunas de Artola como testigo de lo que, tiempo atrás, fue esta bella área de la costa este marbellí: un verdadero laberinto natural de arenas. Es posible apreciar en este privilegiado enclave tres tipos de dunas. En primera línea de playa aparecen dunas con cierta movilidad, fáciles de distinguir por presentar rizaduras o ripples. Más al interior, como una barrera paralela a la costa, se encuentran las dunas móviles inactivas, cubiertas ya de vegetación. Y en una posición más alejada, se hallan las dunas fósiles inmóviles, invadidas de un denso pinar. Las dunas presentan una interesante vegetación adaptada a soportar la fuerte insolación, la escasez de agua y el continuo azote del viento. Entre las especies más comunes se encuentran el barrón o el cardo marítimo y, en la proximidad de la playa, es fácil observar el perfumado narciso de mar. Más alejados de la costa son habituales arbustos como la sabina caudada. Para conocer esta peculiar riqueza natural, nada mejor que pasear entre las dunas por alguno de los senderos habilitados, pues el pisoteo podría perjudicar su dinámica natural. De arena gris, en la costa los amantes del baño disfrutarán de unas aguas transparentes, poco profundas y de ese característico paisaje de dunas y pinares que le confieren un aire de playa salvaje. En el entorno se encuentra la Torre de los Ladrones, elemento de arquitectura militar y defensiva declarado Bien de Interés Cultural. Su origen parece remontarse a época romana, siendo posteriormente reconstruida por árabes y cristianos para defender la costa de piratas. Además, en sus inmediaciones se encuentran el Puerto de Cabopino y la playa nudista del mismo nombre...Un paseo muy recomendable

A fantastic sandy beach. The large car park is just a stroll away along the boardwalk to the beach. The beach has a gentle slope into the sea - children can play on the beach and go for a paddle. We strolled along to the 2nd boardwalk entrance to the beach where the boardwalk has spray paint pointing the way to the Playa Nudista. The beach is a mix between textiles and naturists. I jumped at the chance to start on the all over tan as my 4 year old played away in the sand! A lovely view out to Gibraltar too!!

Great place to take a walk either on the wooden walkways or by the sea on the beach. And the best place in the area to see the sunset. I never get tired to go to see the sunset there all around the year. And I'm not the only one. During the sunset there are many times also professional photographers with wedding couples or some other people. Sometimes there are movie groups. Don't miss the opportunity to see the sunset there if you are on the Costa del Sol area.

Beautiful beach. We went on a nice day in October and it was quiet. Parking lot is large and has a guy who directs you to your place and looks after your car for as long as you like for €4.00. The famous boardwalk starts here and has an easy walk, wheel chair accessible, which is the blue route. The red route is making detours to beach entrances and is a little more strenuous. The beach has no chairs but you can bring your own towels or foldable chairs.

Awesome place, if you go during the high season it’s hard to find a parking. The place is amazing, there are water games and chiringuitos available. The environment is beautiful as you can see all the sand dunes behind you when you are lying at the beach, the water goes down slowly allowing you to have nice time and walks in the water. A Place to visit

The Artola dunes are dominated by the Torre Landrones, this is a great place to take gentle stroll or if you are more energetic jog along the kilometres of walk ways, I go there to exercise my dog. The dunes are bounded by the Med & the 10km beach that stretches to Marbella. There is plenty of parking even in high season.
