We want to feel the sea breeze on our face as we stroll along the seaside\u2026 Indeed, what could be better than taking advantage of the first sun rays to get brown, walk barefoot on the sand and, above all, take a break and forget about our everyday problems. If this seems like a good idea, do it in Estepona. This locality of the Costa del Sol enjoys a wide ranging and well established tourist tradition and offers all its visitors countless accommodation options, perfectly designed visitor infrastructure, excellent cuisine and a warm atmosphere during the day and at night.<\/p>\n

What are Estepona\u2019s beaches like?<\/h2>\n

\"Playas<\/h2>\n

Peaceful beaches, pleasant sand and all the services you need to enjoy a comfortable day by the sea. On clear days, many parts of the coastline also offer views across the Strait towards the African coast.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Estepona has also improved the accessibility of its beaches by adding adapted facilities for people with reduced mobility, including walkways, accessible sun loungers, amphibious chairs and support walkers.<\/p>\n

At present, Estepona\u2019s beaches do not hold Blue Flag status due to the local Town Hall\u2019s boycott of the European certification programme. Even so, much of the coastline continues to maintain a good standard of cleanliness, conservation and services during the high season. Estepona Marina, meanwhile, does hold this distinction thanks to the quality of its facilities.<\/p>\n
