The 1988 Coastal Law establishes a zone of public land along the coastline
The Coastal Authority has announced that it will start the demolition of buildings built illegally along the sea front in two months time.

Speaking to the La Opinion de Málaga newspaper, Chief of the Coastal Authority in Málaga, Juan Carlos Fernández-Rañada, says they want to recover all the land which belongs to the public and which has been built upon, and that the current list has shown some 50 properties along the province coastline.

Most of the constructions date from the 50’s and 60’s and include buildings, beach bars, a pumping station and gardens.

Two of the main cases are the Marymar residence in Benalmádena Costa, and the Nautical Club in Torre del Mar. In the latter the local council is trying to save the building by having it declared as being of historic architectural interest.

The new Coastal Law passed in 1988 established a zone on the beach which is for public use.
