Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de la Misericordia is an urban beach 2,000 metres long and 60 metres wide, located on the outskirts of Málaga beside the power station. Its dark sand, seafront promenade and vegetation form a landscape where the chimneys of nineteenth-century industrial Málaga can still be seen, a distinctive feature of the surroundings. It has moderate swell and high occupancy. Access is easy on foot or by car via the MA-22, with parking for more than 100 vehicles and an urban bus service. Practical facilities include showers, food, water-sports hire, and sports and play areas.
