Children

 

The Spanish are well known for being some of the most family orientated people in the world! Children are always welcome and are usually involved in everything. When parents eat outdoors children always join them, even late at night.

 

Estepona for children

 

Playa Cristo bay, just behind Estepona port, is the most ideal swimming bay for small children. Especially those without a swimming diploma. Up to about 50 meters offshore the water is very shallow. See beaches.

 

In the direct vicinity of Estepona you will also find a good selection of parks, water parks and animal zoos. Dolphin- and adventure trips are also popular children activities.
