Playa del Saler

Playa del Saler is one of the great unspoilt beaches on the Valencian coast, set inside the Albufera Natural Park and backed by the dunes and pine woods of the Devesa del Saler. This protected natural setting, with its clean waters and golden sand, offers a very different experience from the city beaches in the centre of València.

The atmosphere

What defines El Saler is the balance between beach and nature. The line of dunes and the Mediterranean pine forest create an unusual backdrop, and a sense of openness and calm prevails even in high season. It is a place for those who want space, clean swimming and a landscape that reminds you it sits within a natural park.

Services

As a beach set within a protected area, facilities are simpler than in the city. It pays to come prepared and to respect the dune vegetation, which is fragile and essential to the ecosystem.

• Access through the Devesa del Saler, by car or public transport from València.
• Parking areas and wooden boardwalks for crossing the dunes without damaging them.
• An ideal spot to combine with a walk through the pine woods.

Tips for your visit

• Bring water, shade and comfortable footwear: here nature sets the pace.
• Do not tread on or pick the dune vegetation.
• Make the most of the nearby Albufera to round off the day at sunset.
