The westernmost point of the promenade is at Sunset Beach (near the watchtower). It’s 3 km east to Benalmádena, alongside the Playa Arroyo de la Miel (playa=beach). In Benalmádena, wind around the marina and continue east along the Costa de la Carihuela, passing Playa de la Carihuela, reaching Torremolinos just past the 6 km mark (3 km east of Benalmádena). From here, the Paseo Marítimo continues for another 4 km along a series of several continuous beaches. The eastern terminus is ~4 km west of the Misericordia promenade that runs from Málaga west to the Guadalhorce river. As for beach running in this area…the beaches are numerous and wide, but the sand tends to be soft except for right near the water.
Add-Ons: In Benalmádena, there’s nice running around the marina and just inland at Parque De La Paloma.

At the far eastern end of the Costa del Sol in Nerja, a scenic waterfront promenade head west to Playazo Beach. Includes the Balcón de Europa, a picturesque overlook offering panoramic views of the sea, beaches and distant mountains.
The 25 km of seafront promenades accessible from Málaga are among the most popular places to run on the Costa del Sol. These wide, festive multi-use paths pass beaches and parks, with great views to the Alboran Sea.
This 7 km tour of Málaga has a bit of everything: a lovely park, a tour of the port on waterfront paths, a seaside promenade, and a few of Málaga's key sites. Plus an option to explore Málaga's castle and older sections.
Several km of pleasant gravel paths along the Guadalhorce River just west of Málaga, which includes a section in the Parque del Guadalhorce nature reserve. Access from Sacaba Beach or Guadalmar.
Historic botanical gardens with beautifully landscaped trails, and paths in La Concepción park that continue to a reservoir overlook. Extensive, challenging trail running east of the gardens or in Montes de Málaga Natural Park.
This is an enjoyable, centrally located run in the popular resort town of Benalmádena with three distinct sections: a jaunt around the attractive marina, a section of seafront path, and the Parque De La Paloma.
An attractive seafront promenade runs for 7 km between Fuengirola and Caraval, with wonderful water views the whole way. The wide, palm-lined path follows the beach and is very festive. The beach itself is not great for running.
The promenade heading west from the center of Marbella for up to 13.5 km to Playa de San Pedro de Alcántara is another classic seafront run on the Costa del Sol. The palm-lined path passes a nearly continuous series of beaches.
Fantastic running in this upscale area of the Costa del Sol. We've put together two routes that can be run standalone or combined, featuring gorgeous seafront promenades, a marina, the 'Golden Mile', and riverfront paths.
