Playa Marina del Este

Playa Marina del Este is a picturesque beach nestled in the Andalusian region of Spain, in the town of Almuñécar. The beach is situated near a marina, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, mountains, and the beach itself. This beach is particularly known for its tranquil environment, characterized by the gentle lull of ocean waves. It is recognized as one of the most popular diving sites on the southern coast of Spain, attracting diving enthusiasts frequently. The beach also provides an excellent spot for snorkeling, especially for children, thanks to the calm waters of its lagoon-like alcove. On clear days, swimmers and snorkelers can delight in the sight of divers and a diverse range of fish and anemones. Though popular for water activities, Playa Marina del Este is less suitable for sunbathing and swimming due to the presence of both small and large stones on the beach and in the water. Additionally, the water's clarity can fluctuate, and the beach itself is relatively small. The beach offers a range of amenities for visitors, including toilets and showers. However, the condition of these facilities may vary, and some may require maintenance. Alongside these amenities, there is a restaurant on the beach where visitors can refresh themselves with a drink or a snack. In terms of accessibility, the parking at Playa Marina del Este can be somewhat limited. From the parking area, a short walk leads to the beach, passing by a picturesque harbor featuring additional restaurants and shops. For those interested in a leisurely stroll, a stony path alongside the sea provides a scenic route to admire the stunning views.
