Choosing a beach in Marbella
Marbella’s shoreline ranges from central beaches beside the town to the protected dunes at Artola. Location and surroundings make a more useful distinction than sand colour alone.
Venus and La Fontanilla put the beach close to central Marbella, while Artola offers a shore shaped by its dune landscape. The coastline also includes beaches around Puerto Banús and San Pedro Alcántara. Decide first between staying near the town’s streets and spending time beside a more distinctive natural setting.
What to look for
Artola beach lies beside the protected Dunas de Artola.
Sand texture varies along the coast, with gravel on some stretches.
Useful to know
Combine Venus or La Fontanilla with time in central Marbella.
Treat Artola and the nearby port of Cabopino as a separate coastal outing.
