Playa del Cristo

Stretching around a small bay immediately to the west of Punta de la Doncella and the attractive marina of Puerto Pesquero de Estepona, Playa del Cristo is approximately 700 metres long. Combining stone-free dark sands with calm shallow waters, protected on one side by a sea wall, amenities include several play areas. As a result, it’s a beach that has become popular with families with young children.

Accessible on foot and by car from the heart of Estepona town, there are free and pay-for car parks, alongside a handful of beachside bars serving up regional and international cuisine. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available for rent, as are stand-up paddleboards. The beach has dedicated toilets and showers, as well as lifeguards during the summer holiday period.
