Playa El Castillo

Playa El Castillo is a prominent beach located in the Estepona area, offering stunning views of the western Costa del Sol. It is known for its expansive size and its proximity to the Duquesa Castle. The beach is easily accessible from the A7 freeway, making it a convenient destination for both locals and tourists. Despite its popularity, Playa El Castillo maintains a tranquil atmosphere, often described as clean and quiet. The natural characteristics of the beach include its unique sand, which contains fairly large pebbles. This feature, while adding to the beach's distinct charm, can make it challenging to walk on without slippers, especially during the middle of the day when the sand can become quite hot. The water at Playa El Castillo is often on the colder side due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. This, however, does not detract from the overall appeal of the beach. In terms of amenities, beach vendors are a common sight, offering a variety of goods and services to beachgoers without being overly intrusive. The area surrounding the beach is also home to a number of restaurants, providing a range of dining options for visitors.
