One of the reasons that Malaga in southern Spain is such a good city break destination is that you can combine spending time on the beach with all that’s on offer in a large city such as culture, restaurants, shopping and night life.
Malagueta Beach Malaga
Malagueta Beach is 2.5 kilometres in length and is the closest beach to the city centre. It’s a man made beach and while there may be other more beautiful beaches outside the city, having a beach so close to the city centre means it’s within walking distance of most hotels. The beach is well equipped with toilets, showers and lifeguard stations.

Fishing from the stone protrusions on the beach at dusk is a popular pastime with locals.

I enjoyed walking along the beach as dusk fell, admiring the sunset over the port.

If you have limited time in the city, I’d suggest you do three things; spend some time at the beach, or at least stroll along the prom, visit the Alcazaba, a Moorish fort with lovely views over the city and explore Malaga Park.
I recommend the Hotel California Malaga if you want an affordable hotel with some character close to Malagueta Beach. You can look for Malaga hotels for your city break using the LateRooms search box below.
