Gastronomy - Beach Bar Guide

Playa Bermeja, Estepona

Marbella | Estepona | Mijas

Here is the most comprehensive guide to the beach bars (chiringuitos) and beachside restaurants along the Costa del Sol from La Cala de Mijas (East) to Casares (West). The majority of these establishments have sun beds for hire at a reasonable price per hour or day. Many also offer music and create their own, unique ambience.

Enjoy your Mediterranean cuisine, right on the beach

The food in these beach bars is similar in many of the restaurants, featuring plenty of Mediterranean specialities to tempt the palate. Fresh fish and paellas are highly recommended dishes.

Spaniards in search of the ultimate beach holiday generally arrive early to get a good sunbed and then alternate between fun on the beach and snacks or drinks at the "chiringuito". Many enjoy a long, relaxed lunch at the beach bar as well before spending the rest of the afternoon enjoying more fun in the sun and relaxing on comfortable sun beds by the Mediterranean.

Families and groups of friends generally rent several sun beds and set up camp to enjoy a virtual home away from home from early morning until sunset.
