Platja dels Peixets
The only undeveloped beach on Alboraya's coast, at its northern end, between the mouth of the Carraixet ravine and the Patacona. Around 690 metres of golden sand and gravel, it tends to be uncrowded thanks to its discreet access and lack of nearby services. Its name recalls the Miracle dels Peixets, the root of local devotion, whose hermitage stands beside the beach.
It is the only undeveloped beach on the coast of Alboraya, at its northern end, between the mouth of the Carraixet ravine and the Patacona. The Platja dels Peixets runs about 690 metres of golden sand and gravel that are usually far quieter than the beaches next door.
What it's like
Access is discreet and there are barely any services nearby, which is why it is almost always sparsely used. If you want a stretch of coast with no beach bars or promenade, this is the spot in the area.
The name and the surroundings
It is called dels Peixets after the Miracle dels Peixets, the root of local devotion, whose hermitage stands right beside the beach. For a full day, pair it with the neighbouring Patacona beach, which is busier and better equipped.
