Family Friendly Beaches
Del Cristo Beach - Estepona
Located on the western side of Estepona port near the H10 resort
Del Cristo Playa is perfect for familes due to the shallow cove and soft sand making it ideal for young children who are learning to swim and for those wanting to swim without waves or strong currents. The beach has 2 beach bars offering drinks, snacks and full lunch menus. You can also hire sunbeds. There are excellent public facilities with a children's play park and a purpose built change area with showers & toilets which are all very well maintained (but make sure to take your own toilet roll!). This beach can get very busy on weekends during the summer but is definitely worth a visit.
