Audio Guide of Playa Boliches

Playa de los Boliches is a public beach and, as such, it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can enjoy it at any time, although the lifeguard services and beach bars have specific hours that usually run from 10:00 to 20:00 during the high season.

Good news! Playa de los Boliches is a completely free beach. There is no entrance fee, so you can relax and enjoy the sun and sea at no cost. What may involve a charge is renting sun loungers or umbrellas if you wish.

The ideal length of time depends on what you are looking for. If you just want a quick swim and a stroll, a couple of hours will be enough. But if you want to relax, sunbathe, take several swims, and perhaps eat at one of its beach bars, I would recommend setting aside at least half a day, between 3 and 5 hours, to enjoy it fully.

Playa de los Boliches stands out as one of Fuengirola's most iconic urban beaches, awarded the Blue Flag, a symbol of quality and exceptional services. Its name, 'Los Boliches,' comes from an old fishing activity. It does not have monumental history, but it does have a long tradition as a meeting point and a place of enjoyment for locals and tourists thanks to its lively atmosphere.

To avoid the biggest crowds, I suggest visiting during the low season (from October to May) or in May and early June. During the summer, if you want peace and quiet, the best time is early in the morning (before 10:00) or late in the afternoon (after 18:00), when the sun is less intense and there are fewer people.

Yes, Playa de los Boliches is one of the most accessible beaches in Fuengirola. It has wooden walkways that reach almost to the shoreline, adapted showers and toilets, and even areas with assistance staff for supported bathing during the high season. You can find more details on the Fuengirola Town Hall website.

Very close to the beach, you can stroll along the Rey de España Promenade, full of shops and restaurants. You also have Bioparc Fuengirola, an immersion zoo, and Sohail Castle, which offers spectacular views and hosts events. Fuengirola town center, with its lively atmosphere and shops, is just a short walk away.

Of course. For a perfect visit, I recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water, especially if you go in summer. The beach bars offer good food, but for a calmer swim, look for the areas farther from the river mouths. And do not forget your towel and camera to capture the sunsets!
