From Monday to Sunday, seven beaches in Malaga to visit with children before their vacation ends:

The start of a new school year approaches with the arrival of September, marking also the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Temperatures become somewhat more benign at this point, but they still invite one to swim and enjoy the beaches of Málaga. Children can make the most of the tail end of their vacations at some of the best beaches in Málaga for them, for various reasons, whether it be the gentle waves, cleanliness, or facilities. We refer to a brief guide from the Repsol Guide—pardon the redundancy—with seven perfect beaches for the little ones.

"Those who visit Las Viborillas beach in Benalmádena for the first time believe they have arrived at a Caribbean beach," they say about the beach of Las Viborillas, in Benalmádena, the first of their recommendations, noting that "it has a parking area for vehicles and a bus stop nearby, however, access involves some steep steps, so it's better to be cautious and not let the kids run ahead."

They continue their journey in Nerja, where they offer two recommendations, possibly the two most striking beaches in the area: El Cañuelo beach and Maro beach. "The clarity of its crystalline waters and the diversity of its fauna make it especially recommended for enjoying with children doing snorkeling," they say about the former, reminding that "access must be made on foot from the parking lot located above the cliff that precedes the beach or by shuttle bus." Regarding the latter, they comment that "what makes it especially attractive for active families are the water activities that can be done, such as renting kayaks to explore nearby caves and waterfalls."

Next stop, Marbella, where they recommend Artola and Cabopino beach, "one of the widest in the municipality, extending along 1,200 meters of sand" and which "boasts a large selection of eateries and restaurants where you can enjoy the most typical dishes and several points worth visiting like the Ladrones Tower." Between San Pedro de Alcántara and Estepona is the next stop, Linda Vista beach, which they highlight, beyond the large sandy area, for its Paleo-Christian site of the Vega del Mar Basilica, a place they describe as "interesting" for "bringing Roman culture closer to the little ones, as it is free to access, though guided tours can be arranged on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 11:15 to 13:00."

Punta Chullera beach, in Manilva, is another of the recommended beaches for families with children, in this case praised for the "high ecological value typical of the Campo de Gibraltar flysch, where it is common to see birds such as egrets, terns, and seagulls." The last mention falls on Fuengirola for Torreblanca beach, with which they conclude: "Its urban character is one of the main reasons why families with small children choose Torreblanca, as it is perfectly equipped with showers, access walkways, toilets, and sports and play areas for the little ones."
