Plages à Mijas

Beautiful Sandy Beaches

Mijas Costa features a diverse 12-kilometer shoreline along the Mediterranean, ranging from urban Blue Flag beaches to quiet rocky coves. The area is connected by the Senda Litoral, a wooden coastal boardwalk that passes historical 16th-century watchtowers like the Torreón de La Cala. These beaches offer varying landscapes, from the wide sandy stretches near Sohail Castle to the snorkeling-friendly rocky sea beds found near the Calaburras Lighthouse.
