| Estepona, traditionally a small Andalusian fishing port, is now one of the fastest growing and most popular destinations on the Costa del Sol. Despite its recent growth, Estepona has managed to preserve its peaceful town atmosphere. Estepona port was built in 1977 and is equipped with all modern facilities. There are also a variety of sport amenities in Estepona port along with dolphin spotting trips and fishing excursions.
The beach in Estepona, named La Rada, is one of the best on the Costa del Sol and the only one to be awarded the Blue Flag Award. The award was granted in recognition of the beachs cleanliness, safety and facilities. There is also a quiet cove named Playa de Cristo, which is ideal for children due to its shallow, safe waters. Estepona port has also been awarded this accolade. As well as the standard facilities, Estepona port also has a market, which is especially busy on Sundays.
Estepona is approximately an hour drive from Malaga airport and is easily accessible by the N340 motorway or the new toll road. The town planners have successfully combined modern architecture with old, completely avoiding the construction of high-rise apartment blocks, which are a feature in more established Costa towns. Although there is a good selection of hotels in Estepona, it is restricted to a small number. There is however, a huge selection of apartments to rent and buy, which is the preferred type of accommodation in Estepona.
