The municipality has four beaches: La Cala del Moral, Rincón de la Victoria, Torre de Benagalbón and Los Rubios. They hold the Q for Tourism Quality and the S for Tourism Sustainability. They are urban beaches with a seafront promenade and chiringuitos (beach bars), and are very popular with the people of Málaga.
The Cueva del Tesoro (Treasure Cave). In the El Cantal area, between La Cala and Rincón, lies this cave of marine origin, considered the only one of its kind open to visitors in Europe. It holds remains from the Palaeolithic and the Bronze Age as well as rock art. Its name comes from the legend of a hidden treasure, which has never been found.
The Cueva de la Victoria. Just a few metres from the previous one, with prehistoric paintings and engravings. It is listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural (Site of Cultural Interest) and is visited in small groups.
The Casa Fuerte de Bezmiliana. This fortified house was built in 1766, in the reign of Charles III, to defend the coast against piracy, and still bears its coat of arms above the entrance. Today it is an exhibition hall with free admission.
The Roman villa of Antiopa. In Torre de Benagalbón, discovered in 2003. It dates from the 3rd century, is listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural and preserves several mosaics.
The Senda Litoral. Around 8 km along the sea, suitable for walking or cycling, which between La Cala and Rincón passes through three tunnels of the old Málaga–Vélez railway, known as “La Cochinita”, which stopped running in 1968.
On 16 July the Virgen del Carmen is carried in two sea processions, one in Rincón and another in La Cala del Moral, and the fair is held in mid-July. September brings the Fiesta del Boquerón Victoriano, with tastings and live cooking, declared a Fiesta de Singularidad Turística Provincial (provincial festival of tourist distinction).
The caves of El Cantal have been inhabited since prehistoric times. In the Roman period the villa of Antiopa was built, and in the 18th century the Casa Fuerte de Bezmiliana formed part of the coastal defences. Over the 20th century it grew to become one of the most populous municipalities in the province, with more than 50,000 inhabitants.
The star product is the boquerón victoriano (local anchovy), eaten fried or marinated in vinegar. And the chiringuitos along the promenade always have espetos de sardinas (sardine skewers).
