Poniente Beach

Platja de Ponent

A wide beach about 3 km long west of the old town. Its wavy, colourful seafront promenade is an architectural landmark, and it is quieter and more family-friendly than Levante.

Poniente Beach lies on the west side of the old town headland. About 3 km long with a wide sandy shore, it draws mainly Spanish families and is more relaxed than Levante Beach. Behind the beach is a rolling, colourful concrete seafront promenade designed by architect Carlos Ferrater, which has won international architecture awards. It is good for walking and cycling, and in the evening you can watch the sun set between the mountains and the sea. At its western end, near the fishing harbour and Tossal de la Cala, you can visit a small cove. Free entry.
