Address: 29604 Marbella, Málaga, Spain
Playa de Artola–Cabopino is Marbella’s wild side—in the best way possible. Tucked away from the urban bustle, this beach stretches along 1.2 km of golden sand inside the protected Dunas de Artola nature reserve, a Natural Monument since 2001. It’s one of the last unspoiled corners of the Costa del Sol, where sand dunes, native shrubs, and that warm Mediterranean breeze create a dreamy, off-grid vibe.
You’ll find something for everyone here—family zones with loungers, chiringuitos for icy drinks, and a free-spirited nudist section if that’s your thing. The beach is also gay-friendly and chill, perfect for a laid-back escape from Marbella’s glitz. Pack light, bring your camera (the light here is chef’s kiss), and get ready to lose track of time surrounded by nature.
