Fuengirola accessible beaches serve nearly 8,000 users this summer

Fuengirola’s accessible beach facilities served nearly 8,000 users with physical or visual disabilities between June 1 and August 15. According to Mayor Ana Mula, a total of 7,798 individuals utilized the town’s four specialized beach areas.

Lifeguards provided assistance on 6,256 occasions during this period, primarily helping users enter and exit the sea. The accessible zones are located at Castillo, Fuengirola, Los Boliches-Gaviotas, and Carvajal beaches, ensuring that every stretch of the town's coastline now includes an accessible area.

Fuengirola has been a pioneer in accessibility within Andalusia since introducing dedicated areas in 2000. The municipality continues to improve services through partnerships with organizations such as Cota Cero and Aspaym. The coastline also recently received a special mention from ADEAC, the organization behind the Blue Flag awards, for its high level of accessibility.
