San Pedro de Alcántara is located just a few minutes west of Marbella. With its authentic Andalusian atmosphere, streets rich in history, and a more relaxed vibe than the more touristy areas of the Costa del Sol, San Pedro is the perfect spot for those seeking a quieter vacation without being too far from the region's main attractions.
One of San Pedro's greatest charms is its Old Town, where visitors can stroll through narrow streets lined with traditional whitewashed houses and lively small squares. The Church of San Pedro, with its characteristic white facade, is a landmark in the town center, surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and shops that offer a truly local experience.
The beaches of San Pedro de Alcántara are known for their tranquility and crystal-clear waters. Playa de San Pedro, one of the largest and most popular, offers an extensive sandy area and all amenities, including beach bars, children's play areas, and sunbed rentals. It's perfect for families or those looking to enjoy a day at the beach without the crowds found in other touristy areas.
The Paseo Marítimo (seafront promenade) of San Pedro is one of the area’s highlights. A long promenade that connects with Puerto Banús and Marbella, it’s ideal for walking, jogging, or cycling, always with the Mediterranean Sea as your companion. Along the way, you’ll find numerous beach bars and restaurants where you can savor local cuisine, such as pescaíto frito or grilled sardines (espetos).
San Pedro boasts the Boulevard, a modern avenue with green spaces, playgrounds, and a variety of bars and restaurants. This promenade is ideal for enjoying family time or relaxing at the end of the day while watching the sunset over the coast.
