Paseo Maritimo Juan Aparicio

Playa del Acequion
Located at the port, this is a long stretch of beach with fine white sand. On this stretch of beach you will find numerous fishing boats and beach huts. As it’s an urban beach there are high rise apartment buildings standing right next to the sand, and bar and restaurant terraces make beach dining an attractive possibility.

Protected by the southern dock of the port, this is one of Torrevieja’s most active and sporty beaches with a wide range of activities. The seawater is very clean and the color of the sand is almost white. The surrounding area is characterized by Torrevieja’s salt lakes and lagoons.
