Scuba From Playa Berengueles

Located between the Marina del Este and the Punta de la Mona is Playa Berengueles. This is the most convenient beach for those staying around the Marina del Este area or at the Best Alcázar Hotel.

It's just a 3-4 minute walk for anyone staying inside the marina and a quick shuttle ride down from the hotel.

Playa Berengueles is a Beautiful Protected Cove!

This gorgeous 100-meter cove is flanked on one side by a large rock jutting out of the sea and on the other by the tip of the Punta de la Mona point. This allows for much needed protection from the strong winds coming out of Malaga. As a result the waves are small and the surf is calm and inviting.

Beautiful sailboats and yachts can usually be seen resting within its waters in June and August.

Just around the corner in the Marina you can find several scuba companies that will provide you with equipment and training.

Getting There

The easiest way to find Playa Berengueles (and the marina itself) is off of the old N-340 going towards Almunecar.

Just before the tunnel there is a small curvy road on your right. Follow this road until you see the iron statue of the black and red flower (representing the Punta de la Mona Urbanization) and go just to the right of it.

Follow this pine-tree lined road (with beautiful views of the bay below) until it stops, take a left. You will reach an area that opens up with a tree filled island in the middle and the Best Alcazar Hotel on your left, contiune going straight and up to your right.

Follow this road all the way down to the bottom and you will find the beach to the right and the marina further up on the left.
