What are the beaches like in Valencia city?
Going Valencia early September and staying in Algiros . More specifically, Playa de la Malvarrosa beach and those surrounding beaches - what are they like ? Fine sand/ clear, clean and calm waters for swimming? These beaches are ideal in terms of distance - max walking time is…
Beach Day Trips?
Me and my friends love going to the Malvarossa beach on a weekend, although as we’ve there a lot of times now I was wondering is there any other beaches close to Valencia which are worth a car/train journey too? 1-2 hour travel time is okay! Thanks a lot

Reviews Summary

"A great beach with clear, warm water spanning what feels like endless kilometres down the coastline. Lots of good restaurants scattered along too. We were unable to find any umbrella rentals, so would recommend bringing your own."

"Nice beach line, warm and calm water, but filled with many many many big and purple jellyfish (medusas)!!!!! 🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼There were about 6 or 7 just surrounding me. Impossible to swim at this time of the year. Sand is very dirty, so wearing shoes/flipflops is extremely recommended."
Geovanna Giannini
"Very nice and clean beach. It was much cleaner than other beaches near it. Ride to it was by bus like 30minutes and you also had to make a little hike from the bus station to the beach, but it was all worth it. Strongly advice to take sun umbrellas and everything else you need for beach fun with you, because there were no boots there selling those things. There was only one place selling food and water there, but it was short distance from the beach and was expensive. It was a bit windier then other beaches (our sun umbrella broke there, because of the wind), but waves were also better. For a child it was so much fun to float around with its swimming ring on the waves"
