It’s an excellent choice for families with young children or anyone looking to enjoy a beach with all the comforts.
This is one of the largest beaches in Dénia, and although it is very popular in summer, its spacious stretch of over 600 metres always allows you to find a spot to lay your towel and enjoy the sun and sand.

The beach has a very welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere.
You can walk here from the Dénia harbour along the pedestrian promenade, making it very accessible for anyone in the town centre. You can also reach it by car, as there are public and private parking areas nearby.
It has all kinds of facilities: wooden walkways to the sand, foot showers, lifeguard station, beach bars, volleyball nets, playgrounds, etc. Check the services section for full details. Additionally, it has been awarded the Blue Flag, recognising the high quality of the beach and the services it offers.
