El Cable Beach
El Cable is an urban beach east of Marbella’s centre, with the offshore remains of the former mineral-loading installation giving the view a local historical reference.
The surviving industrial structure off the coast makes this beach more than an interchangeable patch of sand. It recalls the connection between the inland mines and ships that carried their output away. Enjoy the shoreline and look towards the structure from land; reaching or climbing the offshore remains is not part of the visit.
