Local tip for a great beach day

If you're aiming for a chilled day at the beach, I’d recommend heading east towards Cabopino. It tends to be less crowded than Puerto Banús, especially during July and August. One of the beach clubs there has a laid-back atmosphere, decent shade, and fresh seafood that doesn’t feel overpriced. Arrive late morning, grab a spot, and take a stroll along the marina afterward. It’s the kind of place where you can avoid the big party vibes and just enjoy the sun with locals who come for a relaxed pace.
