Playa Norte
Platja Nord
A fine-sand beach stretching about 5 km north from the old peninsula. The water is shallow and calm, with the castle and old town as its classic backdrop.
Playa Norte runs about 5 km north from the foot of the old peninsula toward Benicarló, forming the core of the Peñíscola resort area. It has fine sand and a gentle slope, making it ideal for families, and it has held Blue Flag certification for many years. Behind the beach, a long seafront promenade is lined with hotels, apartments, restaurants and ice cream shops. In summer there are umbrella and sunbed rentals, lifeguards and water sports. From the northern stretch you can look back at the old peninsula and castle rising from the sea, a view that is especially beautiful at sunset. The beach is free. The promenade can be walked or cycled, and parking is difficult in peak season.
