It can be reached from various directions: from the south via Playa de La Carihuela and from the north and from the centre of Torremolinos on the seafront Paseo Marítimo and the (public) staircase (between Calle Danza Invisible and hotel Costa del Sol). Right next to the gay beach there is also a "private" staircase which can be used by, among others, guests of the gay hotel Ritual.
