Anyone for sun and fun at the beach?
You are never far from a beach at La Cinuelica! Some are within walking distance, others are a short drive, and many are 'Blue Flag' beaches, which have to meet a strict criteria for cleanliness, water quality and facilities. There are too many to list individually, but these are some of our favourites in the Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa area …
Roccio Del Mar / Punta Prima Beach
Punta Prima is the nearest beach to your holiday home, being only a short 10-15 minute walk or a couple of minutes or so in the car, and is just great if you want a stroll on the beach. If you are a family with young children, the size of this lovely curved sandy beach makes it easier to keep an eye on them. It is however the smallest of the local beaches so if you're looking for full facilities, and you have a car, you may wish to drive the extra few minutes to get to a bigger beach. The very popular Nautilus restaurant is also to be found here. It is open all day and serves pizzas, pasta, meat and fish.
Cala Cerrada and Cala Bosque at La Zenia
About 10 minute drive away, these 2 major blue flag beaches of the area, are situated adjacent to the La Zenia hotel. Some watersport activities are available here - such as jet skiing in the summer months.
Playa Flamenca Beaches
The beaches of Cala Mosca and Cala Estaca at Playa Flamenca are two beautiful coves of lovely golden sand that are separated by a palm tree laden promenade. Normal beach facilities are available such as showers, sunbeds, parasols and much more. The beaches are patrolled by lifeguards. Make sure you don't miss the lobster restaurant, Den Engel! about 10 minutes drive from your holiday home in the sun.
La Mata blue flag beaches
The hidden gems of the beaches for those wanting a quiter time must be the blue flag beaches at La Mata. They must be some of the best beaches in Spain especially if you enjoy long stretches of lovely golden sand. La Mata tends to be quieter than other beaches in the area.
