Marbella beach bars

Marbella beach bars

With summer just around the corner, residents and visitors to Marbella can look forward to long, sunny days and relaxing evenings at some of the best beach bars on the Costa del Sol.

Choose from a range of beach restaurants and bars, chiringuitos, in Marbella itself, including La Pesquera, on the seafront promenade, El Sombrero, on the central Marbella Beach and Beach Club El Fuerte, right in front of the hotel on the entrance to Marbella. If you fancy a day out however, you can also find some great places to eat and drink on the beach in Las Chapas, Elviria and Cabopino, including the famous ‘Andy’s Beach Bar’ with live music most days.

A choice of beach-front properties for sale in Marbella include apartments, townhouses and villas.

Los Sardinales, Alicate Playa, Marbella

Los Sardinales is situated on Alicate Playa, El Rosario, 8km east of Marbella and serves up a choice of fresh fish, seafood and paella dishes to suit all tastes. Perhaps the fact that Antonio Banderas´s villa sits proudly on the sands here enhances the feel good factor of this restaurant, and the food is excellent.

With ample parking nearby and good road access, Los Sardinales is only five minutes from the centre of Marbella in the direction of Elviria.  Exit the road just after the Hospital Costa Del Sol on the opposite side of the road at the sign for El Rosario.

Specialities include including Octopus Gallega, Boquerones al Limon, Baby Squid, Gazpacho and Fresh Mussels Marinera with the most delicious white wine and cream sauce. The menu also includes a choice of meat and vegetarian dishes, although fish lovers will be spoilt for choice.

Triana Beach Bar at Playa Las Chapas

If you are travelling to the Triana from Marbella, exit the motorway at sign for Las Chapas (just after Elviria) and head down to the beach. Turn left and you will see the Triana at the end of the beach road, enjoying a superb location overlooking the sea.

With a large terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, the Triana serves traditional paella, fantastic fresh seafood, locally caught, and probably the best squid you will taste anywhere. Also one of the best jugs of sangria on the coast, and the Triana keeps its prices reasonable. Excellent food at this family run business is worth coming back for, and there are plenty of vegetarian options.

The Triana is a family-run business with friendly service, good prices and excellent food in a beautiful setting. The salads are good too.

Specialising in superb fresh fish and seafood, plus a great choice of meats, pastas and pizzas, these two chiringuitos offer something for all the family. Cabopino is one of the best beaches in the Marbella region.
