The Valencian Community, bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean, and accompanied by a unique microclimate, is one of the best areas in Spain for a beach and sun vacation. It should be noted that the beaches of Valencia have generally excellent quality, corroborated by the large number of blue flags with which they have been awarded.
In this article you will find a selection of the best beaches in the city of Valencia, as well as our personal top of the best beaches in the Valencian Community. Finally, and before we begin, it should be noted that the Comunidad Valenciana area has many more attractions than its beaches, which allows it to offer unique experiences not found in other areas of the Spanish coasts.
The 5 best beaches in Valencia city
The city of Valencia has two large beach areas, divided by its modern port. The northern area of beaches is the most crowded, and the one that contains the most complete leisure area. For its part, the southern area contains quieter beaches, but not worse.
Malvarrosa Beach
This is the most popular and crowded urban beach in the whole city, partly thanks to all the services and restaurants that surround the area. Not only is it one of the beaches most beautiful in Valencia, but it is also one of those with the best leisure and entertainment atmosphere.
Cabañal Beach – Las Arenas
It is another of the best known urban beaches of Valencia, being the favorite for families to spend their days at the beach in the summer vacations. That if, at night it becomes one of the busiest nightlife areas of the city, especially in summer.
Pinedo beach
If you are looking for dog friendly beaches in Valencia, Pinedo Beach is the best option, or almost. It is a beach almost 3 kilometers long, with a width of 35 meters on average, and awarded with the European blue flag (which as you may know, ensures compliance with certain requirements).
El Saler beach
A huge sandy area of almost 5 kilometers long, surrounded by a natural environment, which can not be found in the urban beaches of the city. The tranquility that is breathed in it is impeccable, in addition to the fact that it has the blue flag award.
Beach of L’Arbre del Gos
A little known beach, and therefore very quiet. It is located between the beaches of Pinedo and El Saler, previously named, and its characteristics are quite similar. Its low occupancy is due to the fact that it was opened in 2007, so there are other areas that took quite an advantage from before.
The 5 best beaches in the Valencian Community
The coast of the Valencian Community is formed by the Costa Blanca (of Alicante), the Costa de Valencia and the Costa de Castellón. It is a very extensive coastal area, so the amount of options it offers are countless. It has been difficult for us to choose which are the best beaches in the Valencian Community, but here is our list.
North Beach of Peñíscola, Castellón
This beach stands out for the iconic Castle of Peñíscola, located on one of its sides, which gives unique views from the entire sandy area. The quality of the sand, in addition to the promenade, are some of the attractions of this extensive beach of 5 kilometers long.
Racó de la Mar beach, Valencia
What makes this beach, located in the municipality of Caner d’En Berenguer, stand out is the natural environment that surrounds it, composed of dunes and vegetation. If you enjoy quiet beaches to the fullest, this beach of golden sands and clean waters is ideal for you.
Muchavista beach, Alicante
About 3 kilometers long, and with a sand of incredible quality, Muchavista is undoubtedly one of the best beaches in the Valencian Community. It is located a few kilometers from Alicante, right next to the also known beach of San Juan, which is very similar.
Cala Ambolo, Alicante
We wanted to highlight one of the best coves in Valencia, since so far we have only named extensive sandy areas of kilometers in length. While it is true that in the same area there are numerous coves (by Javea and Denia), the Ambolo cove has seemed to us one of the most remarkable.
L’Ahuir beach, Valencia
It could not miss a naturist beach, for all those fans of nudism. The scarcity of urbanism in the area, in addition to the natural environment that is breathed, are ideal to enjoy a quiet and relaxed day at the beach.
