Best Beaches in Marbella for a Day with Your Crochet Bag

I have lived in Marbella long enough to know which beaches are worth your time. Some are packed and loud. Others are quiet, with good sand and space to breathe. If you are bringing your crochet bag for the day, you want the second kind.

Playa de Venus

Right next to the Old Town. Dark sand, calm water, and enough restaurants nearby that you never have to go far for lunch. It gets busy in summer, but early mornings are peaceful. Bring your Sky Blue Crochet Tote packed with sunscreen and a book.

El Faro Beach

Near the lighthouse. Smaller than Venus but cleaner and less crowded. The promenade behind it is lovely for a walk after swimming. This is where I go when I want to work on a new design by the water.

Cabopino

A twenty-minute drive east. Quieter than central Marbella, with dunes and natural surroundings. The sand is softer here. If you want a beach day that feels like an escape, this is it.

What to bring

• Sunscreen
• A book
• Water
• A towel
• A crochet tote - light, breathable, sand-proof

Shake out your braided crochet bag and it is good as new. That is the beauty of handmade - it handles real life.

And if you are wondering why crochet bags seem to be at every beach, read why handmade crochet bags are everywhere this summer.
