Orihuela Costa guides
Sixteen kilometres of coast from Punta Prima to Mil Palmeras, a Blue Flag at almost every turn, and a clifftop path linking most of it. Here is every beach in order from the villa southwards.
| Beach | From the villa | Why go |
|---|---|---|
| Playa de Punta Prima | 4 min walk | Calm sandy bay, restaurant on the beach, our home beach. |
| Cala Piteras | 11 min walk | Rocky cove, snorkelling, no facilities. |
| Playa Flamenca | 20 min walk / 4 min drive | Blue Flag, promenade bars, playgrounds, Saturday market behind. |
| Cala Mosca | 5 min drive | Small undeveloped cove between Flamenca and La Zenia. |
| Playa de La Zenia | 7 min drive | Big family beach, showers, restaurants, close to the Boulevard. |
| Cala Capitán | 7 min drive | Sheltered cove with rock shelves; the best snorkelling on this coast. |
| Cala Cerrada | 8 min drive | Tiny cove below Cabo Roig, usually quiet. |
| Playa de Cabo Roig (Caleta) | 8 min drive | Blue Flag beach beneath the marina and the watchtower. |
| Playa de Aguamarina | 10 min drive | Low-key sandy beach with a beach bar. |
| Playa de Campoamor (La Glea) | 12 min drive | Long, calm, pine-shaded, with the marina and good restaurants. |
| Playa de Mil Palmeras | 15 min drive | Wide, Spanish, family-friendly, with a lively summer paseo. |
A paved and boardwalked path follows the clifftop from Punta Prima south through Playa Flamenca, La Zenia and Cala Capitán to Cabo Roig, with steps down to each cove. Allow 90 minutes one way at a stroll, early morning or evening in summer. Taxi or bus back along the N-332.
Playa Flamenca, La Zenia and Cabo Roig have street parking that fills by 11:00 in August; Campoamor and Mil Palmeras are easier. Most beaches have lifeguards, showers and a chiringuito from June to September; in winter you share them with dog walkers.
