3. Torreblanca Beach

The buzzing energy of Fuengirola’s beaches is part of the area’s charm, but when you feel like a change of pace, you can always head to Torreblanca Beach. Although it is still very popular, its location slightly further from the city center means it is often quieter than some of the other beaches.
