The Sunday Morning Market in the Bull Ring of Estepona is great! It's a Flea Market/Antiques/Boot Sale market from 9am to 2pm. No entrance fee and lots of bargains!

The port has a pleasant layout, possible to walk all around, also the fishermen area where nets are being restored and the fish auction is open en running, lovely characteristic and picturesque , fringed with lovely bars and restaurants , its an extension of the Senda Litoral, which is the famous coastal board walk. The whole promenade is various kilometers long and very pleasant to walk, it is in excellent condition for walkers, rollerbladers, cyclist and even wheelchairs. Fresh seafood at the harbour is in abundance. tapas, or afternoon coffee etc.. all day every day worth a visit.

Visited the marina for a non dolphin sight seeing tour. Loved the boat trip even without the sight or mention of the dolphins it was beautiful. Tour ended at 4 and no where to eat - all restaurants had close the kitchens for the afternoon and so not re-open until 6. Ice cream parlour was the only option 😂 good selection and variety of eateries. No hassle from restaurants or from tour reps which was hood.

We visit the marina every time that we are in Estepona, it is a thrill to watch the fishermen with their catches, to look at the boats in the marina, to have a drink and snack at one of our favourite bars and enjoy the sheer magic of it all.

The market is situated in the port and contains various small market stores. Park at the end of the marina. Not sure if the car attendants at the parking are legit as they not clearly indicated. They ask for €5 per car. Market stores were mostly female orientated and our friends loved the various selections. Not too many ‘unique’ Spanish or local goods stores.
There are plenty of restaurants in the port to choose from after doing some shopping.

About 3 years ago, I ate at Healey Macs and found the experience loathsome.
I vowed never to return as I tell friends & family to always vote with your feet.
Wind the clock forwards and friends wanted to go there for lunch in late Nov. 2020.
They dragged me kicking and screaming (which was a bit embarrassing) to eat there.
The serving staff and, I was later told, the chef had all recently changed and I cannot believe how improved it was. In fact it was so good that I suggested to my wife asking if they were opening on the 25th for Christmas lunch.
They were, but had no info, but promised me they would email me when they could.
The next week, I was given the data I needed. In Christmas 2019, we went to a nearby restaurant and was charged 65e for a reasonably good 3 course meal. H.M. were going to be charging 29e. Admittedly, there were only 2 choices per course, but we managed and were treated to excellent, plentiful food with great smiling service.
PLEASE Healey Mac owners, keep the present staff and chef and we will return very soon.

This is nothing like Puerto Banus, (not so sleazy nor so posh), and nothing like Puerto de la Duquesa, (not so pretty). Yet I still love it!
But it provides a great concentration of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes, with cuisine from all over the world.
It's also a nice place to stroll and look at the boats. Not mega-yachts, but the sort of thing an ordinary family could aspire to.
The marina in Estepona is a favourite spot of many people, until late in the night and early morning in summer, as the bars and restaurants are open late late late. But it's also a pleasant place in the daytime, as those same bars and restaurants are open for a cooling drink and a wee rest.
By the way, it's probably best not to try to come here by car, although there is one carpark. If you do want to park, drive down the main entrance to the marina, turn first right and go to the end of the row of shops. The carpark is on the left, it's paying and pricey. The parking spaces along the road are mainly privately owned.
Otherwise, get there on foot. Stroll along the Paseo Maritimo - check the reviews. At the very end you'll come to two rows of fishermen's huts, walk between them. At the right time of year, July and August, you'll see Flying Fish hanging up to dry, and on most days people mending nets. At the end of these huts there's the La Escollera restaurant: read the reviews of that, and decide when you're coming back to eat the freshest fish ever!
Veer sort of right by the Escollera, and then take the road on the left. You'll come there to a building with a sort of, well, I don't know how to describe it! A sort of piazza on top. It is the flat roof of a harbour building that has been recently beautified, with some shade and places to sit and admire the view. The places to sit are metal and wood chairs, carefully sited so that when you are sitting down you cannot talk to the person sitting next to you. :-) There's a little bar there,open in summer, called Vitin del Puerto.
Walk up onto this flat space for a good view of the Marina (to your right) and the Fishing Port (straight ahead). You may even see a boat coming in, followed by a flock of seagulls as it brings its catch to unload at the "Lonja" - the wholesale fish market. See how close it is to La Escollera? That's why its fish is so fresh!
Continue along that little road to the beginning of the Marina. The boats here are not on the same Billionaire scale as in Puerto Banus. They are just boats owned by people richer than you or me, I guess. But it's nice to potter around looking at them, buying an ice-cream in the lovely ice-cream parlour in the Control Tower, stopping for a coffee or a beer.
There is also here an enormous choice of restaurants. Italian, Indian, Chinese, general international cuisine. You won't go hungry, although it's mainly not very typically Spanish, if that's what you are looking for. But if your teenagers are moaning that they are being cruelly force-fed paella and gambas al ajillo, and thus being deprived of Chicken Jalfreezi, Pizza Marinara or Sweet and Sour Prawns, then this is the place!
If you should happen to have any stale bread in your pocket, you can throw bits into the water to attract a crowd of fish, some quite large - nearly two feet long. These fish are called Lisas in Spanish - no idea what the English is. They are inedible as they are scavengers in ports, but it's fun to watch them scrambling for the lumps of bread.
On Sunday mornings there's a market here which is generally very popular; they even have coach-loads of OAPs coming from 20 or 30 miles away some weeks. Clothes, watches, sunglasses, jewellery (some nice silver stuff on a couple of stalls), CDs, belts, toys, leatherwear, paintings, hats and of course bags. The bars are packed on those days, so if you just want to sit at a terrace and nurse a cappuccino while you watch the folk go by, get there early.

It has good fresh fish, BUT only in the summer months. Sat mid june to mid September.

The puerto is a place where many foreigners enjoy eating, as things are geared to their taste.
So not really authentic . . .
