Havana Beach Chiringuito

Sandy Beach

  • Drinks

  • Restaurant

  • Havana Beach sits right on the bay at Playa del Cristo, the sheltered cove on the western edge of Estepona.

    This is the calmest water in town. The cove is closed off from the wind, so when the sea is choppy on the long beaches down the coast, here it stays flat, and it holds its warmth well into the autumn. That is why the same families come back to this one year after year.

    Tables sit on the sand a few steps from the water, with trees behind them for shade in the middle of the day and the sun dropping over the bay in the evening. Regulars will tell you it is the best chiringuito on this beach, and the marina and the fishing port are a five minute walk away if you want to carry the evening on somewhere else.

    We came last summer for a birthday dinner with 20 people and the reservation worked well, the table was well prepared and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Of course it took them a bit to prepare fresh food for 20 people, but nothing that what seem ‘too long’ either especially as the starters were served quite quickly. The food was really fresh and tasty, drinks nice, we had a super lovely evening (I know I post this later now, but I checked the location now to recommend to a friend and saw the ratings, so I also wanted to make a statement from our perspectives as we all can’t agree on the negative reviews even in a group of 20 people ☺️). Hope to be back later this summer.

    Chirinquito itself and food is not bad. But what makes it really bad is the service. 5 tables out of 20 occupied, 5 waiters, and uou have to wait for beer and virgin mojito for 20-25 minutes...with people queing up at bar because they hope they will get their drinks faster...if i would be the owner, i would fire the serving staff and this chirinquito could be a really good one...

    We have been here many times over the years. Food selection is excellent. Drinks nice, beautiful view. Service is a bit slow, but chill, youre on a beach drinking wine. There's a childrens menu and lots of ice creams. You eat with your feet in the sand and your head in the shade. We love this place. We will be back.

    Loved the place, the service was quick and the waiter was polite and friendly. We had the quesadillas, the club sandwich and the shrimp wrap and I got personally like the tortilla warmed up. I found just a couple of shrimps (but fresh), the quesadilla was ok and so it was the sandwich. The fries were the best!!!

    Playa del Cristo is a 680 metre cove on the western edge of Estepona, tucked in beside the port and sheltered from the wind.

    That shelter is what makes it different from the long beaches along this coast: the water stays calm and warm, there are no waves to speak of, and families with small children come here instead of la Rada.

    There are trees along the back of the sand for shade, showers, changing rooms and toilets, and the beach is set up for visitors with limited mobility, with amphibious wheelchairs and assisted bathing through the summer.

    The marina and the fishing port are about five hundred metres away.
