The best things to do in San Pedro, Marbella — top beaches, activities, attractions and days out, handpicked for tourists, families and locals alike.
San Pedro de Alcántara is Marbella's more relaxed, family-friendly neighbour, and its centrepiece is the Boulevard — a huge landscaped park built over the coastal motorway, with playgrounds, an amphitheatre and cafés. It's the green heart of the town and ideal with children.
The beach here is wide, breezy and quieter than Marbella's, with a handful of chiringuito bars, and an easy, flat coastal path links it all the way to Puerto Banús along the shore — a lovely walk or cycle at sunset. It's an unpretentious, genuinely local base for exploring this stretch of coast.
