Compared to the rest of the Costa del Sol, Torre del Mar has managed to retain much of the authentic Spanish atmosphere despite the influx of tourists. The long waterfront promenade is lined with clubs, excellent seafood restaurants, cafes and much more, and the wide sandy beach is also great. Enjoy the sun and surf on the Paseo Maritimo, one of the longest boulevards on the Costa del Sol. At almost 3 km (1.86 miles) long, the Torre del Mar waterfront path offers a wide range of green spaces, dining options and outdoor activities. Rent a bike and zip along the walkway’s dedicated cycle paths, or simply stroll through the gardens and open spaces.

There are many bars and cafes on the promenade, as well as local fishermen selling their freshly caught and freshly grilled specialties. Children’s play areas are also well equipped and spread along the entire length, meaning the area is very family friendly. Be sure to bring your camera, as the area’s parks and palm groves are home to a large flock of wild green parakeets. The beach has been voted the best beach east of Málaga by malagastrand.nl. The beach is popular among families with children. The locals on the Costa del Sol also know where to find the beach. There are many facilities. Table tennis, volleyball, football, fitness, senior beach, children’s beach, toilets everywhere, a book crossing point, beach showers, chiringuitos, hamacas, you name it. The sand quality is also very high. Moreover, the port of la Caleta de Velez is very close. In this port you can rent a sailing boat, catamaran, canoe and much more. Every year in July there is an air show called Festival Aéreo Internacional Torre del Mar. This attracts around 300,000 spectators every year.
