Costa de Almeria and Costa del Sol contain some of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in Spain. Many of the fine, grey sand beaches have been awarded the European Blue Flag status for cleanliness, water quality and the surrounding scenery. The coastline is home to family friendly beaches, lively beach resorts and many secluded coves and bays.
Playa Poniente in Motril is a large family friendly beach that is one of the best for watersports such as jet skiing, water skiing, scuba diving and sailing. If you wish to keep your feet on dry land then have a round of golf at the nearby 9-hole course or enjoy some delicious food and drink at any of the restaurants, bars and cafeterias along the seafront promenade.
Playa Puerta del Mar is one of the most popular and striking looking beaches in Almunecar. This long beach attracts families and a younger crowd thanks to its proximity to the town centre and range of facilities including sun loungers, watersports and beachside bars. The views over the Mediterranean Sea are stunning and you will want to linger here later to witness the amazing sunset.
The stretch of several beaches at Salobrena is the place to be if you are looking for a secluded beach from which to escape the crowds. These beaches sometimes become busy during the summer months, especially with the locals, but for much of the year they are deserted. Salobrena beaches provide amazing views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and there are a few beach bars where you can enjoy the view while having a drink or snack.
