Essential Information: When to go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Most flights to the Costa del Sol touch down in Malaga airport which has good public transport links to the main resorts. You can also get a taxi or hire a car here. In the resorts, most hotels are within walking distance of beaches, bars and restaurants but if you want to go further afield, taxis are in plentiful supply too.
All the main resorts are connected to each other and Malaga by a clean, reliable bus service, which makes bus travel an affordable and easy option for getting around the Costa del Sol.
Local drivers on the Costa del Sol are used to hordes of tourists joining them on their roads in the summer. As a result, if you stick to the right, you should find driving here fairly easy.
Hit the Beach
The Costa del Sol is known for its long sandy beaches and warm, long summers.
Near Marbella it's all about cool beach clubs and cocktails, while Benalmadena and Fuengirola offers lots of family fun.
If you’re searching for a quiet afternoon on the sand, Las Yucas Beach is a great choice.
This 700-metre stretch is not swamped with sun loungers like many other popular beach spots, and is instead sheltered by pretty rock pools and coves, making it the perfect place for a picnic and a paddle.
Watersports

From waterskiing and jet skiing to snorkelling and windsurfing, the Costa del Sol is a haven of on-water fun
Most beaches offer motorised watersports including banana boats and ringos.
Santa Amalia’s stretch of sand, in Fuengirola town, is a sure bet.
