About

Explore this spot in Torre de la Horadada. Great location for swimming and paddling, supping and wind surfing. Torre de la Horadada is a coastal town located in the southern part of the Alicante province, in the Valencian Community. The town stretches along the Mediterranean Sea and offers a beautiful view of the sea and the nearby islands. The scenery in Torre de la Horadada is characterized by long stretches of sandy beaches with crystal clear water, which are ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The area is also home to numerous coves and rocky cliffs, which provide a perfect setting for snorkeling and exploring the marine life. Apart from the beaches, the area is blessed with natural parks and reserves like the "Salinas de San Pedro del Pinatar" regional park, which is a haven for migratory birds, including flamingos. The nearby town of Pilar de la Horadada offers a nice contrast to the coastline, with its typical Spanish architecture and charming streets lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops. The area is also famous for its annual fiestas, which include traditional dances, music, and fireworks, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

  • Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
  • Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
  • A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Frequently asked questions

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
