What makes Sacaba beach unique?

Sacaba beach 3

Just a few kilometres from the bustling centre of Malaga, hidden among converted industrial chimneys and sprawling promenades, lies this little-known gem: Sacaba Beach. With dark sand and gentle waves, it is a haven for those seeking to disconnect without going far away, for those who prefer the sounds of the wind to the murmur of tourists.

Here you won't find big hotels, umbrellas lined up, or selfies everywhere. The special thing about Sacaba beach is its peaceful atmosphere and wild nature. It is a place where you can spend hours reading under the umbrella, playing with the children on the shore or enjoying a sunset that paints the sky in shades of pink and orange.

A curiosity: this beach was formed thanks to the natural dynamics of the Guadalhorce river.which dragged sediments and formed this unique space. It is also very close to the Paraje Natural Desembocadura del Guadalhorce, a protected area inhabited by migratory birds, ideal for nature lovers.
