Playa de la Malvarrosa is a urban beach par excellence, situated east of the town centre.

Formerly, it was used to unload the fishing; later, it was used as a place to relax by the Valencia bourgeoisie, Sorolla and Blasco Ibáñez were among their distinguished holidaymakers. Nowadays, it shows a very lively aspect thanks to the broad Paseo Marítimo (Promenade Seafront) and the numerous restaurants and cafés located there.

A bit to the south lies El Cabañal beach. It is as well an urban beach with golden fine sand, which has sport facilities and recreational area for children. Located next to the seaport, which has been improved on the occasion of the holding of the America’s Cup 2007, is a privileged place to enjoy watching the boat race competitions.

In a short while from the city lies Pinedo beach. Traditionally the village has been a place of farmers and fishermen. It is an open and fine-strand beach surrounded by dunes and vegetation that give way to a strip of the well-known Valencia huerta (irrigated area used for cultivation).

Five kilometres of shore turn El Saler into one of the most crowded beaches in the area. It is protected against westerly winds by a line of dunes of great ecological value and a large area of pinewoods, which give its surroundings a natural and wild look.

La Devesa with similar characteristics to the former, has an exceptional natural environment, which makes it to stand out. It is located near the boundary of the Albufera natural park, a rich ecosystem of small lakes, vegetation and birds.

South of La Devesa lies the quiet Perellonet beach, where a vast area of rice cultivations precedes a residential area facing the still waters.
