Almost five kilometers long, for a time it was known as Malladeta beach due to the presence of dunes and meshes in the area that were recently regenerated after being destroyed during the 60s and 70s when trying to urbanize the place.

This is one of the beaches in Valencia that is located in the most protected area of the Albufera Natural Park. Its main attraction is its extraordinary natural environment where all kinds of vegetation mix (palm hearts, honeysuckle, pines, palm trees and mastic) that give shelter to numerous species of birds as well as the contrast of fine and golden sand of the dunes and meshes with the bright blue salt water.
