About this chiringuito
Restaurante Puerto Playa sits on the sand at Playa de la Bajadilla in Marbella centro, with the espeto fire going for sardines and prawns grilled beachside. It's a plain seafood chiringuito, not a design showcase: paper tablecloths, sea view, a menu built around what's on the grill. Fish is priced by the kilo, and opinions split between fans of the espetos and diners griping about the bill.

Restaurante Puerto Playa, answered
How much does Restaurante Puerto Playa cost?
An espeto de sardinas is €4 on their own menu. A full meal runs about €20 to €30 a head, an aggregate figure from the Sluurpy listing rather than a price off their carta, and fish is sold by the kilo, so a shared plate moves the total.
Where is Restaurante Puerto Playa?
It's on Playa de la Bajadilla in Marbella centro, right on the sand, a short walk from the Puerto Marina la Bajadilla.
What should I order at Restaurante Puerto Playa?
The espetos, sardines and prawns skewered and grilled over an open beach fire, are the reason people come; fish is otherwise sold by the kilo.
Does Restaurante Puerto Playa take reservations?
Yes, bookings are taken by phone at +34 952 86 00 11; the kitchen is closed on Tuesdays.
