Malaga has three different types of
beaches:
- from Rincón de la Victoria
at the beginning of the Axarquía. The substratum is mostly
limestone with some metamorphic rocks, and there are many
cliffs and little coves. The sand of the beaches is a medium-fine
one with gravel. The slope of the beaches is considerable,
reaching up to 22%. The beaches in this category are the
Peñón del Cuervo, la Cueva, Torre de las Palomas, la Araña
and the Hornillo.
- from the Port of Malaga to the Pleasure Port of El Candado.
They have metamorphic substrata, mostly slate; the sand
is thick, with abundant stones . Bordered by the Pablo Ruíz
Picasso Seaside Promenade, these urban beaches include La
Farola, La Malagueta (perhaps the most representative and
the closest to the old historic part of the city), La Caleta,
Baños del Carmen, Pedregalejo, Las Acacias, El Palo and
El Dedo (or El Chanquete).
- from Guadalmedina riverbed to the limit of the Torremolinos
municipality. These are long, wide (average of 30-45m),
sandy beaches with siliceous carbonate substrata , and include
San Andrés, Misericordia, Guadalhorce, Guadalmar and the
Golf Parador.
Also in Guadalmar there is a clearly marked beach
for nudists.
