The best beaches to enjoy Malaga during Easter on a sunny getaway

The province of Málaga becomes a privileged destination every Holy Week for those looking to combine the fervor of the processions with the allure of its beaches. If the weather is good, the Malaga coast offers options for all tastes: from hidden coves to family-friendly beaches, including nudist spots or pristine areas surrounded by nature. Many people during Holy Week prefer other types of plans, from a getaway to a village in Málaga or alternative plans. This time we leave you with a selection of beaches that allow you to disconnect, away from the urban hustle and bustle, and that stand out for their beauty, diversity, and uniqueness.

Almayate Beach (Almayate)

In the municipality of Almayate, the homonymous beach stretches along 2,800 meters, divided into four distinct areas: Bajamar, Playa Madrid, El Hornillo, and Naturist Beach. Surrounded by farmland that reaches right up to the sand, it is virtually pristine and isolated, with no promenade, but with basic services such as showers, toilets, and some beach bars. Its calm nature makes it a cherished destination, especially for those who value privacy.

Benalnatura Beach (Benalmádena)

Located between La Viborilla and Las Yucas, in Benalmádena, Benalnatura is a small nudist cove—100 meters long—that surprises with its environment. Flanked by cliffs and dense vegetation, this beach is known for its clear waters, ideal for diving. Despite its size, it has showers, toilets, a beach bar, and areas set up for barbecues.

Burriana Beach (Nerja)

Nerja is home to one of the most complete beaches in the province: Burriana. With 800 meters in length, this beach combines tranquility and leisure. It has sports areas, playgrounds, and a library-beach with activities for children. Additionally, it is possible to practice water sports such as windsurfing, sailing, or diving. Nearby, the memory of Verano Azul is still alive, with a replica of the series' boat and a park dedicated to its memory.

Cabopino Beach or El Cable (Marbella)

Cabopino Beach, in the area of the Natural Monument of the Dunes of Artola, offers a landscape of 1,200 meters marked by the presence of vegetation and the iconic Torre Ladrones. It is a beach with nudist sections and recognized for its environmental quality. A few kilometers away, El Cable, between the fishing port and the Real river, is known for its active atmosphere and its blue flag. It hosts summer events and houses the famous Playa Padre beach club.

El Cañuelo Beach (Maro)

In Maro, near Nerja, El Cañuelo Beach is located in a protected natural area. Access is restricted: one must walk or use a shuttle bus, which has helped keep it virtually untouched. Its waters, rich in marine life, are an attraction for diving, while its fine sand and natural surroundings make it one of the most unique jewels of the Malaga coast.

El Dedo and La Araña Beach (El Palo)

In the neighborhood of El Palo, El Dedo Beach—also known as Chanquete Beach—offers a family-friendly atmosphere and various services, such as children's areas or restaurants. It is famous for housing El Tintero II, where waiters "auction" dishes among the tables. Not far away, in La Araña, there is a beach with a long fishing tradition and areas equipped for dogs. Its combination of services and authenticity attracts both locals and visitors.

Los Álamos Beach (Torremolinos)

Los Álamos Beach, in Torremolinos, represents one of the most active leisure hubs on the coast. Its wide, well-maintained sandy area is dotted with beach clubs, dining areas, and spaces for relaxation or entertainment. It is common to find swings, palm trees, and a festive atmosphere that lasts well into the night.

Punta Chullera Beach (Manilva)

Almost on the border with the province of Cádiz, Punta Chullera surprises with its wild character. Its geological formations create small coves ideal for snorkeling. It is a less frequented beach, where textile and naturist bathers coexist, and which retains a virtually intact natural environment.
