The Promenade is a lively, multifunctional space where people of all ages and tastes can enjoy the sea, culture, sport and leisure.
Main beaches and coves of Torrevieja
Torrevieja’s coastline features several beaches and coves known for their beauty and accessibility, ideal for families as well as those seeking natural landscapes or water sports:
Playa del Cura: located next to the town centre, this fine sandy beach with calm waters is usually very busy.
Playa de Los Locos: an open sandy beach with a family-friendly atmosphere and good access, ideal for swimming or simply relaxing in the sun.
Playa de La Mata: the largest beach in Torrevieja, stretching over 2 km. Perfect for long walks, swimming and water sports. The beach is characterised by a more natural and less urbanised setting.
Cala del Cabo Cervera: a rocky cove near residential areas, ideal for those who prefer less crowded spaces with a more unspoilt environment.
In addition, Torrevieja’s coastline features other small coves and rocky beaches that offer alternative spots for swimming and tranquillity away from the main beaches.
Torrevieja, a Mediterranean benchmark in water sports
The marinas and yacht clubs of Torrevieja are a benchmark on the Costa Blanca both for their modern facilities and their wide range of activities. Three main spots stand out:
Marina Salinas is a state-of-the-art marina designed for those seeking exclusivity and comfort. It is one of the largest marinas in the Valencian Community. Its facilities include a large commercial area with restaurants and bars. It also offers a wide variety of water activities such as kayaking, paddle surfing, flyboarding, cable skiing, banana boat rides, and jet ski and boat rentals, available all year round.
The Real Club Náutico de Torrevieja (RCNT) is located right on the Promenade and is the city’s oldest and most iconic club. It has its own sailing and rowing schools, gym, social areas, and organises nautical activities, sports camps and high-level competitions, enjoying great national and international prestige.
The Club Náutico Marina Internacional offers a family-friendly atmosphere, with sailing schools for children and adults, windsurfing, catamaran, paddle surf, Latin sailing and diving courses. Its offer is aimed at learning and enjoying the sea at any age, with activities for groups and families.
All these facilities make Torrevieja one of the most complete nautical destinations in the Mediterranean, both for the quality of its infrastructure and the variety of experiences on offer.
Natural Park of the Salt Lagoons: a true natural treasure
The Natural Park of the Lagoons of La Mata and Torrevieja is one of the most iconic natural areas on the Costa Blanca. It is made up of two large saltwater lagoons: the pink-hued Torrevieja Lagoon and the greener La Mata Lagoon. Salt production has been carried out in the Torrevieja Lagoon for centuries, making it one of the most important salt flats in Europe.
The unique pink colour of the Torrevieja Lagoon is due to microorganisms that, in protecting themselves from the sun, produce pigments that tint the water. This visual spectacle is especially intense in summer and attracts photographers and nature lovers.
The Natural Park is a vital refuge for many species. It boasts a great diversity of aquatic birds, with over a hundred recorded species. The flamingo is the park’s star attraction, often seen in large flocks, especially during migratory periods. Other common species include stilts, avocets, red-crested pochards, and more.
The park offers signposted routes for both hikers and cyclists. It is an ideal spot for birdwatching and enjoying unique landscapes. There are also picnic areas and spaces adapted for families and school groups.
Torrevieja is one of the most complete and attractive destinations in southeastern Spain. Its privileged climate and accessibility to quality services in different languages have fostered multiculturalism, with a well-established international community.
