Benalnatura, Benalmadena. A tiny naturist paradise near the casino in Benalmádena, Benalnatura has everything you need to spend a relaxing naked day in the sun. There are showers, toilets, a barbecue area, and a great little chiringuito (beach restaurant) doing everything from filled rolls to fried fish to a daily menu. Although the naturist beach is sandwiched between apartment blocks, as you walk down the steps through the shaded, wooded entrance, you almost feel as if you're on a jungle desert island. All around there are aloes and cacti, palm trees, pampas grass and bamboo, and the sandy beach itself is 100 per cent spotless. It's also 100 per cent nudist. You can't get served at the bar unless you're in the buff!

On the N-340 from Málaga to Fuengirola turn off at the roundabout just after the Torrequebrada Casino and follow the road to the right for 50 metres.
Cabopino, Marbella If you're looking for a long sandy nudist beach backed by dunes and pine trees, then try Playa de las Dunas to the west of Cabopino marina in Marbella. The water is shallow, so it's safe for kids and good for wading. At weekends the textile to naturist ratio is fairly even. The non-nudist side of the beach has restaurants, showers, first aid and the usual urban beach facilities. its the best beach for swingers
Coming from Fuengirola on the N-340 coast road, take the Cabopino turnoff, continue through two roundabouts and follow the signs for parking. Access is on the right.

Gaudalmar, Torremolinos / Malaga. Less than ten minutes from Málaga capital, you'll find the city's only official naturist beach, next to the mouth of the Guadalhorce River in the San Julian neighbourhood. Near the entrance you get a textile-naturist mix, but round to the right it's more fully naturist. Mostly Spanish, lots of families and a great laid-back atmosphere – as long as you don't mind the low-flying aircraft overhead (It's situated right under the flight approach to Málaga airport!). The beach is long, wide and sandy, and there are showers, toilets and beach bars.
Coming from Málaga towards Torremolinos on the N-340, take the San Julián-Guadalmar turning at Km 232. Follow the road that runs parallel to the dual carriageway and down to the beach car park.
Costa Natura, Estepona Costa Natura, near Estepona, opened in 1979 and was Spain's first naturist resort. Although the surrounding area is now heavily built-up, once you step inside the gates it's a total oasis – a village of whitewashed apartments set among lush lawns and palm trees and a riot of jazzy geraniums and bougainvillea. Facilities include a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, massage room and tennis courts. Day passes are available.
Part of the the grey-sand Arroyo Vaquero beach in front of the complex is naturist. the beach is narrow and relatively quiet even in Summer weekends. There is a public shower and a kiosk open for selling soft drinks and hiring sunbeds in the summer.
To reach the Costa Natura beach, turn of the A7 at km 151 west of Estepona town in front of Costa Natura. There is limited parking on the access road serving the Costa Natura Urbanisation and the Elba Hotel. Walk down to the beach via the road between the Urbanisation and the Hotel. The naturist beach is only the section in front of the Costa Natura complex.
Personal view on naturist beaches on the costa del sol. Benalnatura is the best but it is small and does get very full in the main season. Sunday is not a good day to go. There is a bar and the food is good, Cabopino is great with lots of space and the best. If you are looking for some lifestyle fun, Estepona is ok. You can get a day pass to go in to Costa Natura, there is also a beach outside Mijas but we have not had a chance to go yet.
