🏖️ Welcome to Playa de Cabopino🏖️


Cabopino Beach is widely regarded as one of the most attractive beaches on the Costa del Sol, combining golden sand, clear waters, and the natural backdrop of the protected Artola Dunes. Popular with families, couples, and walkers, the beach offers a more relaxed atmosphere than many of the larger resorts while still providing excellent facilities and beachside dining.

Information on the Cabopino beach


1. Overview

Cabopino Beach is a long sandy beach located next to Cabopino Marina and the Artola Dunes. Its natural setting, spacious shoreline, and relaxed atmosphere make it one of the most popular beaches between Marbella and Fuengirola.

2. Location & Access

The beach sits directly alongside Cabopino Marina and is easily accessible by car, bus, or on foot from nearby accommodation.

Address:
Playa de Cabopino, Marbella, Málaga, Spain

The beach is connected to the coastal boardwalk and the protected dune area.

3. Facilities & Accessibility

Cabopino Beach is well equipped for visitors and offers:

  • Public toilets
  • Lifeguards during the summer season
  • Sunbed and parasol hire
  • Beach showers and foot washes
  • Easy access from nearby parking areas

Sunbed and parasol hire is typically around €18–€20 for two loungers and a parasol, although prices can vary slightly by season.

4. Parking

Several public parking areas are located close to both the marina and beach entrances. Parking can become busy during summer weekends, so arriving early is recommended.

5. Beach Bars & Restaurants

The beach is served by several popular chiringuitos, restaurants, and beach bars where visitors can enjoy drinks, fresh seafood, tapas, and Mediterranean cuisine. Andy's Beach Bar is particularly popular on Sunday afternoons thanks to its Spanish food, live music, and relaxed atmosphere overlooking the sea.

6. Artola Dunes

One of the beach's standout features is its location next to the protected Artola Dunes. The dunes and surrounding pine trees create a unique natural setting that is increasingly rare along the Costa del Sol and provide excellent walking opportunities away from the sand.

  • Torre Ladrones Watchtower
  • Coastal Boardwalk (Senda Litoral)

  • Bring water and sun protection during the hottest months.

9. Overall Experience

Cabopino Beach offers a combination of natural beauty, good facilities, quality dining options, and a relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart from many other beaches on the Costa del Sol.
