Playa Norte (North Beach)
Playa Norte, or North Beach, is the largest beach on Peniscola, with 5 km of fine sands.
There is the majestic focal point of the Old Town called Castillo del Papa Luna on its southern end. On its northern end, we can see the neighboring town of Benicarlo.
The maintenance it has, the privileged location, the abilities to provide facilities for the less mobile visitors, and the presence of surveillance cameras, all lead North Beach to receive awards such as the Q Flag from the Institute of Spanish Quality of Tourism (ICTE), the “Qualitur” Flag from the Valencia Tourism Agency, the “green” AENOR Flag, the Blue Flag, and many other more.
Playa Del Sur (South Beach)
At the foot of the walls near the fishing port, there is another beach that provides surveillance cameras and on-site lifeguards called Playa Del Sur, or South Beach.
South Beach itself has 850 m in length and 35 m in width. The main characteristic of South Beach lies in the breakwater that shelters the calm water.
The on-site Benicarlo-Peniscola Nautical Station also offers opportunities to practice sailing, diving, windsurfing, canoeing, and any other water sports.
Las Viudas Beach
Moving past from the South Beach, we find the 110 m long and 15 m wide semi-urban beach named Las Viudas Beach.
