Fuengirola Beach for September
Fuengirola has several options for the beach, as there is an eight kilometer (5 mile) area of sand used just for beaches. Perhaps the best known beach is Los Boliches. The water off of this beach is calm and the sand is of a fine, dark variety. There are also plenty of necessary amenities, like showers and beach chairs.
The beach is quite large (1,550 meters/5085 feet in length and 40-50 meters/131-164 feet in width) and can be enjoyable for a nice stroll. Centrally located, there are plenty of restaurants nearby as well, such as Café Fresco. This café offers organic food and salads, as well as fresh juices, soups, desserts, and coffees. They serve breakfast and lunch and are open until 4 PM every day except Sundays. For a quick drink nearby, checkout Tom's Irish Bar. They focus on serving pints (as the name would suggest) and also are a good spot for checking out live sports.
Bars and Restaurants
If you'd prefer food that is a bit less "local," try Taxi-Angus Burger. This restaurant specializes in American style hamburgers made from 100% beef and are usually accompanied by fries cooked in a few different manners. The décor is familiar to a place you would find in Southern California, with a kind of "diner" feel to it. Be sure to save room for dessert as they also serve milkshakes, cakes, and cookies. They are located about a five minute walk from the city centre.
