Playa de San Francisco is a small urban beach of dark sand in Fuengirola, on the Costa del Sol, set beside the town's sports port. It is about 350 metres long, and the water has low waves.

Sunbeds, umbrellas and towels are for hire, and water-sports equipment and boats can be rented on the beach. Waiters bring food and drinks to the sand, and there is a chiringuito. Lifeguards are on duty in the high season, and there are showers and toilets. Access is adapted for people with reduced mobility. Behind the beach runs the seafront promenade, linking it to Los Boliches with its bars, cafés and shops; parking nearby is paid by the hour, and the town's main bus route passes close by.
