Perched right on the edge of Arroyo de La Miel’s sun-kissed shoreline, CHIRINGUITO LAS GAVIOTAS offers more than just a meal—it serves an experience steeped in seaside charm. This stand bar is a sanctuary for those who crave the salty breeze and the gentle hum of the Mediterranean waves while savoring simple yet memorable dishes.
What truly sets this spot apart is its unbeatable location on the P.º Marítimo. With uninterrupted views of the sparkling sea and the comfort of a casual beachside atmosphere, it perfectly captures the essence of Málaga’s coastal allure. Whether you arrive with a big group or a family with kids, the spacious, open-air setup invites you to relax and soak in the environment.
The menu is refreshingly straightforward but speaks volumes through quality and tradition. The fresh, creamy salmorejo bursts with authentic Andalusian flavor, acting as a cool counterpoint to the sun’s warmth. Watching the chefs grill sardines right before your eyes adds a rustic, immersive touch that complements the restaurant’s vibrant yet laid-back vibe. The gambas a la plancha are another standout—perfectly cooked, tender shrimp kissed by the grill’s flames, delivering a taste that lingers.
While the food might not dazzle with complexity, its honesty and freshness shine through every dish. The seafood salad, chicken and chips, and even local favorites like Spanish tortilla and aubergine showcase a skillful balance of flavors that never feels overdone. Service here is friendly and approachable, often accommodating English-speaking guests with ease, highlighting the staff’s professionalism even as crowds swell.
In essence, CHIRINGUITO LAS GAVIOTAS thrives on creating a relaxed seaside nook where food and atmosphere come together naturally. It’s a place where you can enjoy good-quality, unpretentious cuisine with a spectacular view, making every visit feel like a coastal retreat.

Food was not the highlight here but location and ambient is. Food is ok but not great. Service was friendly and quick however it could be slow when crowded. Place is great for big groups and kids since its right on the beach.

Highly recommend! We really enjoyed the place. It was our very first moments in Spain so we really appreciated that everyone was so friendly and communicative. The place is empty at noon and it gets crowded in minutes. The manager speaks in English so there was no problem to place an order. We tried salmon and spanish tortilla. Everything was really good and we got it very fast! Loved the view! We will be back for sure!

Chiringuito Las Gaviotas was an excellent choice, perfectly situated by the beach with a refreshing sea breeze and stunning sea views. The salmorejo was fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The sardines, grilled in front of us, were a highlight, as were the sensational gambas a la plancha. The staff was professional and attentive, making for a memorable dining experience.

Great location, food service and staff. Had a simple lunch here after having a poor experience from a nearby restaurant (review submitted). Seafood salad delish, sardines perfect, Aubergine amazing. Great atmosphere view, and staff. Would heartily recommend it.
