About
🌴 Just a 15-minute stroll from Marbella’s old town, Playa del Cable (“Bounty Beach”) stretches 40 m wide with dark-golden sand and usually calm waters sheltered by the marina — perfect for families. ⚓ The beach takes its name from the aerial cableway that once carried iron ore to waiting ships; the surviving “Poste del Cable” is a striking reminder of this industrial heritage. 🥇 Awarded a Blue Flag in 2021, it offers full facilities: showers, toilets, wooden walkways, lifeguards in season, and rentals of loungers, umbrellas and watercraft. 🎵 The iconic "Playa Padre" bar sets the vibe with DJs, cocktails and summer parties, cementing the beach’s reputation among younger crowds. 🚗 Easy cycle and car access with ample free parking, though it fills early in high season. 🏄♀️ Newly marked nautical channels host kitesurfing, jet-ski circuits and floating water parks, adding adrenaline to the laid-back setting. 🌇 Photo-worthy sunsets, beach-volleyball courts and year-round mild weather make Playa del Cable a must-see for anyone visiting Marbella.
