Introduction
Playa de la Malagueta is Málaga's popular city beach — a stretch of dark pebble and fine sand beside a palm promenade and seafood bars. Between the Alcazaba and the port and reachable on foot, it is the easiest spot to bathe after sightseeing, stroll at dusk and taste the local fried fish. The seafront walk links the old town to the west and the harbour to the east — the liveliest start of Málaga's coastline.
