Casares has about two kilometres of coast. Everything else in the municipality is hill and mountain, which is why the beachfront properties for sale in Casares are a small, well-defined set — around twenty at any time, almost all of them at Casares Playa, and every single one of them currently under a million euros. The range runs from roughly 200,000 for a modest flat to just under 995,000 for the largest. In Marbella the average beachfront asking price is above two million.
What is actually on the first line here
Ground floor apartments with gardens, townhouses and semi-detached houses, and a handful of middle and top floor flats. No beachfront villas and no new build: this is an established strip of low-rise coastal schemes built over the last three decades, and what changes hands are resales. If a villa on the sand is the requirement, it is a different municipality — beachfront in Marbella or beachfront in Estepona.
Why the ground floor leads
On flat coastal ground the ground floor carries a private garden and a gate to the promenade, and that is what the market pays for. Counted from our own listings at Casares Playa, ground floor apartments run at 3,705 € per square metre against 3,111 € for a middle floor — the opposite of the hillside districts further east, where height is view and the ground floor is the cheapest thing in the building. At the top the pattern reverses again: penthouses here reach 4,632 €, because a roof terrace over the sea cannot be added to a scheme later.
Two kilometres, and where they are
The strip sits between the A-7 and the sand, north of the Manilva border and south of the Estepona one, with Casares Playa and Casares Costa as the two addresses. The old white village of Casares itself is seventeen kilometres inland and four hundred metres up; nothing there is beachfront, however the listing is worded. Which side of the A-7 a property sits on is therefore the first thing to establish, and it is worth walking the route to the water rather than measuring it on a map.
Salt, and what it costs
Sea air attacks metalwork, glazing, air conditioning and render faster than anywhere inland. A community that maintains its buildings properly costs more every month and far less every decade. Ask what the last façade works cost, when they were done, and what the reserve fund holds — on a thirty-year-old coastal scheme those three answers tell you more than the asking price does.
The coastal law
Spanish law defines a public domain and a protection zone inland of the high-water mark. For most of what is listed here this is settled history, but a few first-line buildings on this coast sit under a concession rather than freehold, and that is a distinction a lawyer must establish before you buy, not after.
Where to go from here
Everything in the municipality is on property for sale in Casares; by type, see apartments in Casares and houses in Casares. Golf frontage instead of sea frontage is under golf property in Casares. The same category further west is beachfront in Manilva. If nothing in the list above fits yet, our property alarm will mail you when something does.
Answers about beachfront property in Casares
What do beachfront properties for sale in Casares cost?
Currently 21 listings, from 200,000 euros to 995,000, with the middle of them at 630,000 — the whole first line in this municipality sits below a million, which is not true of any other municipality on this coast. The figures on this page are recounted with every feed run, so treat them as today's market rather than a published average. For the contrast, beachfront in Marbella averages above two million.
Where exactly is the beachfront in Casares?
On a strip of roughly two kilometres between the A-7 and the sand, at Casares Playa and Casares Costa, between the Manilva and Estepona borders. The village of Casares itself is seventeen kilometres inland and four hundred metres up, so nothing there is first line however a listing is worded. All the beachfront properties for sale in Casares sit in the single list above; the whole municipality, hill and coast together, is on property for sale in Casares.
Are there villas among the beachfront properties for sale in Casares?
Not at the moment. The beachfront properties for sale in Casares are ground floor apartments with gardens, townhouses, semi-detached houses and a few upper-floor flats — an established strip of low-rise schemes where what changes hands are resales rather than new build. If a detached house on the sand is the requirement, look at beachfront in Estepona, and for a villa away from the water at villas in Casares.
Why do ground floor flats cost more than the floors above them?
Because on flat coastal ground the ground floor carries a private garden and a gate towards the promenade, and the garden is what the market pays for. It is the reverse of the hillside districts further east, where the floor is the view. The exception is the top: a roof terrace over the sea cannot be added to a scheme later, so penthouses lead again. Both patterns show up in the beachfront properties for sale in Casares and in the ordinary stock behind them — see apartments in Casares.
What should I check before buying beachfront properties for sale in Casares?
Three things, in this order. Whether the title is freehold or a coastal concession — a lawyer establishes that, and it is not a formality on a first-line building. What the last façade and pool works cost and what the reserve fund holds, because salt air is relentless and a thin reserve means a special levy is coming. And which side of the A-7 you are on, which decides whether the beach is a walk or a drive. Our agents on the ground will go through the paperwork with you.

The table beside is counted fresh each morning from our Casares apartment listings — most of the first-line stock is apartments, so this is the closest honest reference. At Casares Playa, where almost all of it sits, apartments run at 3,566 € per square metre across 57 comparable listings.
Budget
Add 10 to 13 per cent for transfer tax, notary, registry and legal fees. On a 500,000-euro apartment that is 50,000 to 65,000 euros.
Read the premium as sitting above the table
These are asking prices across all apartments in the district, not only those on the sand. The first line commands more than the figure shown, and on a two-kilometre coast there is no second chance to build more of it.
The running costs you should expect
Higher than inland, for the salt. Ask for the quota, the reserve fund and the minutes of the last two general meetings before you commit.
