The beaches of Fuengirola, located on the Costa del Sol, are among the safest and most well-maintained in the region, proudly displaying the Blue Flag distinction across all beaches. But beyond this recognition, it is crucial to understand the beach flag system to enjoy the sea safely and avoid fines.
