Address: Playa de Calahonda Mijas, 29650, Mijas, 29650
Playa de Calahonda in Mijas is a beach with two personalities—part lively hub, part natural escape. Stretching over 4 km along the western edge of town, it mixes golden sand, Blue Flag waters, and a laid-back vibe that draws locals and in-the-know travellers. Some areas feel developed, while others are raw and untouched, fringed with coastal greenery.
You won’t find a beachfront promenade here, but that’s part of the charm. Instead, think scuba spots, fishing zones, and pockets of beach perfect for kicking back or wandering off the grid. It’s also just a short hop from the Calahonda Sports Marina—ideal if you want to balance sunbathing with a bit of action.
