Beaches in Guadalmina

Guadalmina Baja extends from the Mediterranean highway to the sea, a strip of about 500 – 600 meters wide. Its beach goes from the promenade of San Pedro de Alcántara to the beginning of Estepona, a route of approximately 1.5 km. The large villas literally extend their gardens to the sand and have no promenade, just a few beach bars and the beach club of the Guadalmina hotel, with one of the few golf courses that ends where the sand begins just a few meters from the sea. A beautiful postcard.
