About

Explore this spot in Peníscola. Great spot for swimming and paddling, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, supping and wind surfing. Peníscola is a beautiful coastal town located in the province of Castellón, in the region of Valencia, Spain. The town is built on a rocky promontory and extends into the Mediterranean sea. Its coastline is characterized by beautiful sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Behind the town, there is a rugged mountain range that offers scenic views of the Mediterranean coast. This mountain range is covered in rich vegetation and provides a beautiful contrast to the blue waters of the sea. The town of Peníscola is dominated by a picturesque castle, which was built by the Knights Templar in the 13th century. The castle has a commanding position, overlooking the town and the sea, and its cobbled streets, towers, and walls are a must-visit for any visitor to the area. The town itself is a maze of narrow streets that are lined with white-washed buildings, which create a delightfully charming and traditional atmosphere. The town has retained much of its original character, and visitors can enjoy a range of experiences, from browsing the local shops and artisan markets to tasting the local cuisine in the many restaurants and cafes scattered throughout the town.

  • 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

Is this beach safe for swimming?

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.

What should I bring?

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.
