With summer come the visits to the beach to escape the heat and get the tan you’ve been waiting for all the year. Costa del Sol has 150km of coastline and, as usual, the beaches are flooded with locals and tourists.

Next, we will name the fewer crowded beaches of Malaga where you can spend your vacations and get away from the crowd.

Quiet beaches near Malaga – The coves of Maro

The cliffs of Maro-Cerro Gordo are famous for their steep scenery and marine life. Although its beauty is beginning to become known, the coves of Maro still do not have the same level of affluence as other beaches of the Province of Malaga.

The beaches of Maro are a place protected by their environmental value and marine fauna. Also, if you are travelling to Malaga and want to do diving activities or kayak routes, this is the perfect place.

The cultural and gastronomic offer of this region is also very diverse and, in the neighbouring towns of Nerja and Frigiliana, you can enjoy all the beauty of the white villages of Andalusia.

Cala Barranco de Maro

A beautiful cove of only 20 meters wide where you can enjoy a unique beach day.

Its difficult access makes it a little travelled, although it is necessary to arrive early to take a place since it is a very small beach.

La Caleta de Maro

La Caleta de Maro is a beautiful cove of 400 meters famous for being the stage of some of the episodes of “Verano azul”, a popular Spanish tv show. It is a sandy beach located near the access to the famous Cuevas de Nerja and, as with other coves of Maro, its difficult access makes it a quiet beach in Malaga.

Cala Torre del Pino

A steep rocky beach with difficult access and incredible beauty. Actually, it is 2 coves, although the second is only accessible by sea.

Due to its peculiar geography, it is usually quiet throughout the year. To get there it is recommended to wear sports shoes since the path is quite bumpy.

Quiet beaches near Malaga – Cabopino, Marbella

Cabopino is without a doubt one of the wildest coastal regions of the Malaga coast. Its dunes of white and fine sand make it unique and, considering that it is only a few kilometres from the city of Marbella, makes it very accessible.

Very close to the beach there is camping where you can spend the night in one of its many bungalows or on a private plot with tents or caravan.

It is not one of the most hidden beaches of Malaga but, avoiding the months of July and August, the beach is not particularly crowded and offers a natural spot that is worth visiting.

Quiet beaches near Malaga – Playa de Torrox

The beaches of Torrox are not particularly beautiful, at least not like the coves of Maro and its crystal clear water. Despite this, they are still quiet beaches in Malaga where you can enjoy a good day on the beach away from the crowded beaches of the capital.
