By train from Málaga airport
The simplest arrival. Málaga's Cercanías C1 line runs along the coast and finishes in Fuengirola, and it stops at the airport on the way, so you can walk off a flight and be on the train within minutes. No car, no taxi negotiation, no parking.
Trains run frequently through the day and the ride is a short one — check Renfe Cercanías for the current timetable and fare before you travel, as both change with the season.
Fuengirola station sits in the middle of town, a few minutes' walk from the promenade, so you arrive already where you want to be.
Getting off at Los Boliches instead puts you one stop earlier, closer to the eastern end of the beach.
