Playa de Canet d'en Berenguer

The Playa de Canet d'en Berenguer is one of those coastal escapes that bring together the best of the Valencian shoreline: fine sand, calm waters and a family atmosphere, all just a short hop from the city. Sitting right next to Sagunto, it flies the Blue Flag, the award that recognises clean water and good facilities, making it a perfect choice for a fuss-free day at the beach.

The atmosphere

Canet has a relaxed, family-friendly feel. The fine sand and gentle slope into the sea make swimming comfortable and safe, and the usually moderate waves invite easy paddling. Behind the sand, a pleasant seafront promenade is ideal for a stroll, a bike ride or simply sitting back to watch the sunset.

Facilities

As a Blue Flag beach, it offers the usual services that make a visit easy: good access, rest areas and places to eat and drink close to the sand.

Tips for your visit

• Arrive early in summer to find a spot and parking comfortably.
• Bring sunscreen, water and a parasol; there is little natural shade on the sand.
• Pair the beach with a visit to Sagunto Castle, which is very close by.
• It is easy to reach from Valencia, ideal for a half-day escape.
