Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Puerto Banus is a semi-urban beach 1,000 metres long and 40 metres wide, located directly beside José Banús Marina. The golden sand forms a broad waterfront whose identity depends above all on this immediate relationship with the marina. The setting therefore combines a beach of generous dimensions with port infrastructure clearly identified in the record. No specific services or other landscape features are recorded, so the practical description is limited to its location beside the marina.
