Plunge into the sea for invigorating or relaxing watersports and then relax amid the cosy surroundings of the beach club.

If you want more from a beach than soft sands to lounge on while enhancing your tan, plan a day at Funny Beach. This popular coastal strip is a hit with watersports fanatics and hosts a variety of pursuits for those seeking active or relaxing times on the water.

Visit the watersports center on the beach to rent equipment and book your sessions. You can also make reservations online at Funny Beach Marbella’s official website. Speed through the water on a Jet Ski, practice a few jump tricks on a wakeboard or fly above the water surface on a hoverboard. Ride on a double doughnut inflatable that’s pulled through the water by a speedboat.

For something a little gentler, get out on the water in a pedal boat. Go on a guided tour of the coastline by Jet Ski. During the trip, you may be able to spot dolphins that sometimes frolic in the area. You can also travel in comfort on a water sofa. This large inflatable is pulled through the water by a boat and has capacity for up to four people. Other activities include banana boat rides, parasailing and flyboarding. There are separate fees for each activity.

If you want to enjoy some chill-out time on Funny Beach, rent a sun lounger and umbrella. You can also laze next to a swimming pool at the beach club, which features a restaurant and bar.

Funny Beach is located just outside Marbella, off the main road that leads to Malaga, another coastal city. Take a taxi or drive and use free or paid parking facilities in the area. You can also catch a bus from Marbella.

Both the beach club and the watersports center are open during the summer season. The prices and durations of the watersports vary. Special offers and activity packs are available that provide discounts on combined activities.
