What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Burriana Beach is celebrated for its stunning, clear turquoise waters and vibrant promenade lined with eateries and shops. Visitors appreciate the lively atmosphere and available activities, though the quick drop-off into deep water and difficulty finding parking are noted drawbacks. Some find sunbed reservations frustrating, but ample space for towels is usually available.
"We visited twice. In the first day the water was very calm and the beach had pebbles - 2 days later the beach was sandy and the water cold and “angry”. The entrance in the water is pretty deep. At every 2 steps the difference is more than 50cm depth. After 2 meters I wasn’t touching the bottom anymore.
The color is wonderful, a very clean turquoise.
If you want sun-beds you have to come early and you still might have low chances because people do reservations in advance. But there is room on the beach for towels and own umbrella if you are inspired enough to bring one."

"Very nice beach, lots of people and umbrellas, but everyone can find a place.
Lots of parking but very hard to find a free spot, but with pacience it can be done.
The entrace in the sea water is kind of rough, water gets over your dead pretty fast from the shore.
Lots of restaurants and shopping store near the beach."

"Nice beach, fun vibes. Lots of activities. Parking a bit difficult but doable. Lots of beds are reserved so apparently that's a thing. You can reserve a bed ahead of time. The water is nice and blue and clear. The surroundings are beautiful. Medium to high in terms of how busy it is"
