Situated between La Malagueta and Los Baños del Carmen, this beach takes its name from the affluent neighbourhood it belongs to, which was chosen as a place of residence by the haute bourgeoisie of the 19th century to build their villas and mansions.

La Caleta beach is 1000 m long and has an average width of 25 m. It has a high occupancy rate due to its accessibility and proximity to the historic city centre.

Did you know?

The neighbourhoods of La Caleta and El Limonar were developed at the end of the 19th century when the Malaga bourgeoisie, attracted by the area's microclimate, began to build impressive mansions to flee from the hustle and bustle of the centre. Curiously enough, the houses were built with their backs to the beach, as it was generally believed by the upper classes at the time that being close to seawater was not very healthy.
