Apartment Location:
The location of the apartment was selected very carefully, offering an ideal balance of lively bars and restaurants a short walk away while the apartment resides in a peaceful environment without noise from the main coastal road and Marina. The nearest bar is about 5 minutes walk and the Marina 10 minutes walk.
The nearest beach spans both sides of the marina on one side past the village of Sabinillas (20 min walk via the promenade) and on the other past the fishing hamlet of Castillo Duquesa. Another popular beach is in the nearest town Estepona a 15-minute drive away.
The Marina has all the essential shops including a small supermarket, newsagent, Internet cafe, and gift shop. Sabinillas has a wider variety of shops including two larger supermarkets. Estepona has many shops and a large Carrefour supermarket.
