San Andrés
Málaga · Málaga
West of the port, between the port and La Misericordia. Its wide promenade makes it very easy to reach, which is why it gets very busy.

How we decide what fits
- Every fact comes from an official source we have read, with the date it was checked.
- If we couldn’t check something, we say so. “Not verified” doesn’t mean “no”, and a beach doesn’t drop down the list because of it.
- We don’t give beaches a score: an unspoilt cove and a city beach can’t be measured with the same ruler. We tell you how well each one fits what you’re asking for.
- “Good for families” means usually gentle waves, lifeguards and easy access, all three.
- Facilities, dog rules and water quality change from one season to the next, so they come with the date they were checked. Before you go, confirm with the town hall.
