Playa de Puerto Banús-Nueva Andalucía, Marbella

These two beaches stretch for more than 2000 meters and are alongside the Jose Banús marina. The sand is white, very clean and soft. The water has won lots of awards for high standards including the coveted blue flag rating. In summer months, it's jam-packed, and during the winter, when it's milder out, it's not so uncommon to see people of all ages enjoying a dip in the sea. There are swings and slides for children, and adults can practice water sports. There's a beach club with a swimming pool and six bars to choose from.
