The Orihuela Costa offers an amazing beach experience! Its waters are crystal clear, making it a great spot for families and even timid swimmers. You can walk out into the sea without fear of the water getting too deep. During the summer, there's live music in the afternoons to create a laid-back atmosphere. In the evenings, the beach bar serves up delicious snacks and cold drinks at an affordable cost. So don't forget to pack your beach chairs and umbrellas - what are you waiting for? Enjoy the sun and sand today!

I absolutely adore this beach! The sand is so soft, no stones in sight, it's well-maintained, the toilets are spotless, and there's some great food nearby. There's more than enough space here, even when it's crowded, so you can easily play beach tennis!

The sand at this beach is the best in the whole of Orihuela. Unlike La Glea beach, it's free of stones and pebbles when you enter the sea. Unfortunately, it shares the same downsides as all of the other beaches in the area, such as no showers or changing cabins. All in all, it's definitely worth a visit - a solid 3.7 out of 4!

This beach is an absolute paradise! The sand is so soft and inviting, and the morning cleaning and flattening give it a stunning look. The food and beverage bar is an added bonus, so you can relax and enjoy the sun all day with your own beach blanket and chair. It's the perfect spot to spend a day!

That place is great! It's huge, and there's a bar conveniently located in the middle. You can also admire the red rocks on the left side of the beach. There's a restaurant with a great view of the beach and the sea (I haven't tried it yet). The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming, even in November if the weather is warm.
