Playa Norte de Peñíscola

The North Beach of Peñíscola is one of those views that stays with you: a long stretch of golden sand spreading right at the foot of the walled old town and the famous Papa Luna castle. Here the sea and heritage share the same horizon, so a swim can end with a wander through medieval alleys. It is the great family beach of Peñíscola, wide and easy to reach.

The atmosphere

The beach pairs fine sand and calm waters with a beautiful seafront promenade that runs its full length. Behind it, the walled citadel provides a backdrop that is hard to match. It is a lively stretch of sand, full of families, strollers and terraces, especially in summer and in the late afternoon as the light falls across the ramparts.

Facilities

• Long seafront promenade with bars, ice-cream shops and restaurants.
• Soft sand and a gentle slope into the water, comfortable for children.
• Historic centre, castle and old town just a few minutes on foot.

Tips for your visit

• Arrive early in high season to find parking and a good spot.
• Pair the beach with a climb up to the Papa Luna castle at sunset.
• Bring comfortable shoes if you want to explore the walled old town.
