Take a boat trip
If you love water, a boat trip is the way to go. From the Puerto Marina, many tours are taking you to the sea. Most focus on finding dolphins and having a drink to go with it and are out for around two hours. If you'd like to go for some longer, you can rent a boat yourself. There are a few options you can choose when you don't have a permit to go out on the sea with a boat, and some bigger boating options when you do. Want to have a shorter boat trip? Take the boat from Benalmadena to Fuengirola to have a tapa there. After that, you can take the same boat back to Benaldena again, or take the bus or train back.
All these boating options can be found walking through the marina.
