1. Overview

The San Pedro de Alcántara Promenade is a modern beachfront walkway running alongside the town's long sandy beaches. Once a relatively quiet stretch of coastline, it has been transformed into one of the Costa del Sol's premier promenades, featuring wide pedestrian areas, cycle paths, children's play zones, beach restaurants, and beautifully maintained gardens. It is a popular destination throughout the year for both locals and visitors.

2. Location & Address

The promenade runs along the seafront of San Pedro de Alcántara, west of Marbella and east of Estepona.

The promenade stretches for several kilometres and connects easily with the town centre, beach areas, and nearby Puerto Banús.

3. Opening Times & Accessibility

The promenade is open 24 hours a day and can be enjoyed year-round.

The wide, flat pathways make it ideal for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs, cyclists, and visitors of all ages. Numerous seating areas and shaded sections can be found along the route.

There are several free and paid parking areas close to the promenade.
