We've visited here in mid-July. The days were hot, blue skies, no clouds in sight. And still the…read morebeach was pretty empty. The most busy it got in the late afternoon, when the sun lost some of its power, but it was still pretty empty. And there's nothing wrong with that, it's just surprising. Because it's a clean, quite wide and soft sandy beach. The water is warm and clean and the ocean is calm, the waves are flat. It's a public beach, so it's best to bring your own gear. There are open showers to wash off the sand. If you don't have your own umbrellas and chairs, then there's a beach bar which has some for rent. The promenade behind the beach is lovely to walk and has some lunch/dinner options. Try Robert's - great food and it's open through from lunch to midnight. A really great beach. Quiet - almost no international tourists (a plus) - a great beach to spend a few days at.

This beach is beautiful and very large! The ocean water is a mix of green and blue that shimmers…read morewhen the sun hits it just right. The sand, unfortunately, is not the white pearly sand of dreams but it is still desirable enough. We came during April, more specifically Spring Break. It wasn't crowded at all; however, it also wasn't that hot. The day was warm but the water was not. At least not enough for this 37 year old to jump in the water. If I would have jumped in, I would have jumped right back out to my Airbnb for a hot shower. My kids, however, had a great time and felt nothing as they collected cool little seashells and threw their bodies against the waves. Overall, it was a great day at a great beach close to the city center. A few things to note: 1) bring food and drinks because I saw zero stores or shops around that offer that stuff. 2) this is Europe so be prepared to see more skin than you will at the U.S. beaches (basically there seemed to be a shortage of tops to go with all bikini bottoms out there). 3) as in all the touristy spots in Spain, an innumerable amount of guys will approach your spot asking if you'd like to buy sunglasses, blankets, towels, beer, and other junk (too bad they weren't selling those tops we spoke of earlier; they'd have made a killing). Enjoy!

A nice beach on the east side of Valencia. We rented bikes nearby and rode along the beach. It's…read morefairly clean with the usual tourist trap restaurants along the pathway. Plenty of people walking, playing volleyball and just chilling. It had a small town beach feel to it.
