Arroyo Hondo beach

Benalmadena beaches are clean with sky blue waters and have many services. They all have medium grade dark sand, with the exception of the fine sand you find at Malapesquera, Torrebermeja, and Santa Ana beaches.

Most all the beaches in Benalmadena have moderate waves, unless you go to Bil Bil and Carvajal beaches where they have very tranquil waves that are more appropriate for little ones. Don´t expect to find toilets anywhere except at Torrebermeja beach, however they all have showers.

All the Benalmadena beaches have easy access by either foot or car, with the exception of Arroyo Hondo, where it´s a bit more difficult to get to. All of the beaches have handicapped access other than La Viborilla, so avoid this beach if you need this service.

If you´re looking to rent a lounge chair or an umbrella you can go to any beach but Las Yucas, Torrequebrada and Torrevigía.
