Sandy Beach

  • Los Marinos Paco has stood on Playa de Carvajal since 1985, run by the same family through three generations, back to the grandfather who started it.

    The fish comes off the dock and goes straight onto the fire: espetos de sardinas cooked over wood, arroces melosos, fried fish, whole fish baked in salt, and shellfish priced by weight that morning.

    There is a glass-enclosed dining room for when the wind gets up, and an open terrace straight onto the sand for when it doesn't.

    This place is truly a seafood gold mine! My husband and I had dinner here several times and I was absolutely pleased with the service and quality of seafood. We ordered scallops (they are truly so delicious) and I ordered salmon with potatoes. If you order the soggy rice it feeds 2 people minimum and comes with clams and other seafood in the meal. Great wine and great views! This place is very exceptional and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

    We had a fantastic experience at Los Marinos Paco during our visit to Fuengirola. This is the kind of place that truly makes you feel the essence of the Mediterranean, both in terms of the atmosphere and the food. We started with gambas al ajillo, which were absolutely excellent — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and with that rich garlic aroma that immediately makes you want to mop up every last bit of sauce with bread. The croquettes were also outstanding, crisp on the outside and creamy inside, clearly homemade and done with care. For the main, we had the grilled squid, which was beautifully charred, tender and juicy. The quality of the seafood really stood out, everything tasted incredibly fresh. The location is another highlight. The terrace is right on the beach, so you get the sea breeze and beautiful views while you eat. It gives the whole experience a relaxed and authentic vibe, perfect for a long lunch by the water. The service matched the food — the staff were very friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and always ready with a smile. You really feel welcomed here. Overall, this is a place worth seeking out in Fuengirola. Fresh seafood, great cooking, a beachside terrace and warm service — it’s hard to ask for more. Highly recommended!

    Had lunch here multiple times during my visit. Great experience right on the beach with typical Spanish vibes. The seafood is fresh and plenty. The service is excellent as well.

    Great place for dinner. We had bottle of great Albarinjo and Lobster for the main dish. All portions were really good and tasty. One thing I was missing was vinaigrette dressing for oysters. They chopped up some red onion which was nice. Gambas pilpil were smooth and they tasted like prawns. They use best and fresh ingredients here for sure. Almehas were nice and sauce had a nice taste of white wine in it. Lobster was grilled perfectly it was delicious. Service was good overall. Restaurant is quite busy so you have to reserve a table to be outside. Price is on the high end but still in range compared to others. Seems that Carvajal side has the best Seafood restaurants in Fuengirola.

    Golden sand, a lively promenade, and relaxed Mediterranean vibes on the border of Fuengirola and Benalmádena. Playa de Carvajal is a sunny Costa del Sol spot famous for easy beachside dining at local chiringuitos and effortless access straight from the train.
