La Cala de Mijas lies on the coast between Fuengirola and Marbella. The beach is about 35 meters wide and almost 2,000 meters long and is ideal for children and families. This is a lovely semi-urban beach in summer and winter alike, with a very nice promenade and plenty of good chiringitos and restaurants serving mouth-watering snacks and seafood. There are sun-beds and parasols for hire, public toilets and changing facilities available and showers at various points along the beach, as well as numerous public telephones.
In the summer months there are many water sports activities from the humble pedalo to the fast moving Jet Ski. In the summer period there is a lifeguard service and the beach is accessible to the disabled.
There is plenty of parking, but it can sometimes become difficult and congested at the peak of the high season in July and especially August.
Situated between Fuengirola and Marbella off the N340/A7, Coast Road.
