Playas de Puerto Banús
Playas de Puerto Banús Review
These small sandy coves are packed almost to bursting in the summer, when they're crowded with young, bronzed, perfect bodies: topless sunbathing is almost de rigueur. The sea is shallow along the entire stretch, which is practically wave free and seems warmer than other beaches nearby. In the area are excellent Caribbean-style beach bars with good seafood and fish, as well as lots of options for sundown drinks. This is also home to the famous beach clubs Ocean Club and Buddha Beach with their oversized sun beds, champagne, and night-long parties. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards (mid-June to mid-September); showers; toilets; water sports. Best for: partiers; nudists; sunset; swimming.
