Playa Fuente de la Salud is a short urban beach of fine, dark sand at the eastern end of Benalmádena Costa, between Puerto Marina and Torremolinos. The swell is usually moderate. Sunloungers and parasols can be hired, a sailing club and several water sports operate from the beach, and chiringuitos and restaurants line the sand.

Showers, footbaths and public toilets are provided, access is adapted for people with reduced mobility, and there is parking close by. Behind the beach, palm trees and planted areas border a seafront promenade where street artists often build sand sculptures. The jetty of Puerto Marina closes the beach's western end, and the marina beyond it has shops, restaurants and an aquarium.
