Because the best rest isn’t always where everyone goes

If you’re looking for a quieter and more authentic beach experience far from the crowded tourist hotspots of Marbella, this is for you. Here’s a selection of lesser-known beaches where you can truly relax, disconnect, and enjoy the sea in peace.

🌾 1. Las Cañas Beach

📍 Location: between Elviria and Las Chapas
A peaceful beach with fine sand, often quiet even in high season. Ideal for an afternoon read, a sunset walk, or simply soaking up the sun with no crowds.

🌴 2. Alicate Beach

📍 Location: next to Los Monteros
Though there are a few beach bars, it remains one of the calmest spots in the area. The water is clean and shallow — perfect for a relaxing swim or paddleboarding.

🌊 3. Hermosa Beach

📍 Location: near Costabella
As the name suggests (“Hermosa” means beautiful), this beach is a charming hideaway with calm waters and a relaxed vibe. Even in peak season, it tends to stay peaceful.

🧘 4. El Pinillo Beach

📍 Location: east of the Marbella arch
More wild and extensive than other beaches, it’s perfect for long walks, beach yoga, or simply listening to the waves. A favorite among locals.

🐚 5. Real de Zaragoza Beach (quieter end)

📍 Location: south of Las Chapas
At its far end, this long beach becomes a peaceful retreat. Pack a picnic, bring a good book, and let time slow down to the rhythm of the sea.

📌 Local tip

Arrive early, bring just what you need, and enjoy Marbella’s most relaxed and natural side. These beaches are ideal for those who appreciate simplicity, calm, and beauty.
