It has an adapted area for people with reduced mobility.

Cabañal-Arenas Beach

Nice temperatures in Valencia make this beach to be bustling during the most part of the year. Furthermore, it is one of the most frequented night life places from the month of April to the month of October.

Pinedo Beach

This beach is located to the south of the port and the yacht port sheltering the beach from northern winds. It is an open beach of fine sand and preserves in its environment a dune and vegetation area giving way to a fringe of the popular “Valencian huerta”.

El Saler Beach
