Address: Paseo Marítimo de Bajondillo, 29620 Torremolinos
If you like your beach days with a side of local flavor, El Bajondillo is the spot. Smack in the center of Torremolinos and sandwiched between La Carihuela and Playamar, this wide, 1-km-long beach is easy to get to—whether you take the charming Cuesta del Tajo, the Camino de la Playa stairs, or even the 50-cent municipal lift. It’s a favorite among both locals and travelers for its city-meets-sea vibe and solid beach services.
The sand here is dark and soft, the waters calm and swimmable, and the surrounding streets still echo with the spirit of the town’s fishing past. El Bajondillo’s promenade is perfect for a sunset stroll, and the beachfront chiringuitos serve up fresh catch daily. Bonus: it’s kid-friendly, romantic, and ideal for lazy afternoons with a cold drink in hand. Keep an eye out for El Morro—the rocky headland that watches over it all.
