With an attractive beach, relaxed atmosphere, pleasant harbour and renowned restaurants, Cabopino is undoubtedly one of the Coast's best kept secret. Situated on the coast, only 12 km from Marbella and 14 km from Fuengirola, it's hard to believe that a hidden jewel such as Cabopino exists in the heart of the Costa del Sol.
Cabopino (Pine Cape) is just that. In a part of the world where forests are usually of the concrete variety, the first thing that strikes you as you turn off the N-340, is that the forest of pine trees comes right down to the sand dunes along the beach.Development has been strictly controlled here, and the tower blocks which are so characteristic along the Costa's shore-line are noticeable by their absence at Cabopino.
An old fortified watchtower still stands proudly by the sand dunes alongside the beach. From its privileged position it is possible to see all along the coast to Marbella ,Gibraltar and Africa beyond, a spectacular backdrop for a spectacular beach.
Cabopino is well sheltered and protected from the elements, and artificial reefs on either side of the beach keep the waves and wind at bay. The sand is well maintained, clean and of a superior quality to other beaches along the Costa del Sol, making Cabopino the ideal place for the child in all of us to build our very own sandcastle in the sun.
Chiringitos (beachside bars and restaurants) are plentiful here and are renowned for their excellent quality. Costa del Sol residents come from far and wide to sample Cabopino's speciality, superb seafood at prices that won't break the bank.
Cabopino is also known for its quality campsite, a beautiful, quiet and cool pine grove, just 175 meters from the beach and a marina port.
