Playa de la Malagueta located in Malaga, Spain, is a beautiful urban beach with lots of playground equipment for kids of all ages. Starting at the iconic ‘Malagueta’ sign and extending south down the beach to the popular zipline. Kids of all ages can use the equipment and find a soft landing in the sand while grownups lounge on one of the many benches, on the grass, or in the sand.
