Dique de Levante
A breakwater over 1,600 metres long turned into a wooden promenade that reaches out to sea as far as the Torrevieja lighthouse. Walking to its tip gives "between two seas" views — the Mediterranean horizon on one side and the harbour basin on the other — and is dotted with sculptures such as the tribute to the fisherman's wife.
Over 1,600 metres of breakwater have become a wooden promenade that pushes out to sea as far as the lighthouse. The Dique de Levante is one of the most distinctive walks in Torrevieja: reaching its tip leaves you, literally, between two seas.
The walk
On one side is the open Mediterranean horizon; on the other, the harbour basin with the boats moored up. The path is dotted with sculptures, among them the tribute to the fisherman's wife, a nod to the town's seafaring past.
For your visit
- It's a good spot to watch sunrise over the sea and for rod fishing.
- On days of east wind the waves break against the breakwater; don't go near the edge.
If you want to stay by the water, in the same port you can visit the Floating Museums.
