About Nagüeles beach
Nagüeles beach is 800m long and approximately 40m wide.
The beach runs the breath of the newly constructed 'Paseo Maritimo' and starts next to the Puente Romano Hotel and runs until the Marbella beach club / Playa de Casablanca / Playa Trocadero area.
As with so many beaches in the area, where one starts and one finishes is very hard to determine, they tend to be a continuation of one another.
The sand is fine and golden.

The exclusive Trocadero Playa restaurant is situated right on Nagueles beach. One of Marbella's best and specialising in local, Andalusian cuisine, the food is quite simply exquisite.
