COSTA NATURA
Costa Natura is near the Málaga municipality of Estepona and inaugurated in 1979, and was the first naturist complex in Spain. Although the surrounding area is full of buildings, once inside the complex we find a total oasis: a white village of apartments set amongst lush gardens, palm trees, geraniums and bougainvillea. Facilities include a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room; Massage room and tennis courts. Part of the Arroyo Vaquero beach, located in front of the complex, is signposted as a naturist area.

This nudist beach about 400 m long with sand and gravel.
CABOPINO
Artola Beach. If you are looking for an extensive nudist beach surrounded by dunes and pine trees, this is the beach for you. It is located to the west of the Marina of Cabopino, in Marbella. Its waters are not deep, so it is ideal for children. The part destined for those who do not practice the nudism counts on restaurants, showers, first aid and habitual facilities of the urban beaches. In the nudist area there is no service. The entire beach is about 1,200 meters long, of which only one part is reserved for naturism. Coming from Fuengirola, on the N-340 coastal road, take the Cabopino detour, continue through two roundabouts and follow the signs for the parking lot. Access is on the right.
