Holidays in Estepona – Sit and watch the action in the lively marina
The main beach at Estepona is La Rada, an expansive stretch of golden sand measuring 2.5km long, and the most popular beach in the resort. La Rada offers a good amount of facilities, and is backed by the modern promenade and a number of traditional ‘chiringuitos’- beach bars – serving up local fish and other specialities. The beach lies at the west end of Esteponas’ lively marina, which boasts one of the largest fleet of fishing boats along this stretch of the Costa del Sol, and is home to a lively fish market. Plenty of bars and cafes line the marina and serve up the delicious freshly caught catch of the day. Just outside the town lies El Cristo beach, a sheltered cove ideal for children, and quieter beaches can be found both to the east and west of the resort. The old quarter of Estepona is Andalusian in character and full of quaint winding streets and floral-filled balconies.
