Malaga marinas

One of the biggest tourist attractions in Malaga Province are the many marinas which are along the Costa del Sol.

Some of the most important marinas on the Costa del Sol are located in Puerto Banus, Benalmadena and Estepona along with nine others which stretch along the coast.

The marinas each have their reputation, style and history, which have made them one of the number one places for people to berth their yachts or boats. They are all nice settings which are perfect for a walk amongst these vessels.

Puerto Banus Marina

The marinas of Puerto Banus, Benalmadena and Estepona are some of the best of the area and in the evenings they ‘transform’ into an area with a diverse nightlife with its discos, music and entertainment.

In fact, the marinas on the Costa del Sol have been recognised on a European Union for their quality and have been awarded Blue Flags as well as the Marina in Benalmadena winning two awards for the ‘World’s best marina’.
