Abstract
The coast of Malaga is predominantly a low-lying beach and shore platform system exposed to the south and southeast. It is dominated by fluvial sediment input and subject to low energy Mediterranean wave energy conditions. This combined with a microtidal range (average 50 cm) represents the scenario for narrow and relatively steep beaches that are mainly composed by sandy material with sediment sizes of 1.5 mm or more and that are restricted to locations near river mouths and a narrow active nearshore zone.

Description
La costa de Málaga es predominantemente un sistema de playa y plataforma costera de baja altitud expuesto al sur y sureste. Está dominado por aportes de sedimentos fluviales y sujeto a condiciones de baja energía de las olas mediterráneas. Esto combinado con una amplitud micromareal (promedio de 50 cm) representa el escenario de playas estrechas y relativamente escarpadas que están compuestas principalmente por material arenoso con tamaños de sedimentos de 1,5 mm o más y que están restringidas a ubicaciones cercanas a las desembocaduras de los ríos y una estrecha zona activa cercana a la costa.
