Playa de la Rada is Estepona's main beach, running for about 2.5 kilometres of uninterrupted grey sand right through the centre of town. It holds a Blue Flag, with lifeguards and first aid posts through the summer, and facilities spread along its length: toilets, showers, footwashes and adapted beach chairs for visitors with limited mobility. Sun loungers and parasols are rented all along the sand, and a string of chiringuitos serves espetos de sardinas grilled over the coals, paellas and fried fish. Behind the beach runs the Paseo Marítimo, a landscaped promenade lined with palms and flower beds, which makes the whole stretch walkable from anywhere in central Estepona.
