Beaches

The fine white sand of Torrevieja beaches is one of the main attractions for tourists,as well as the calmness of the waters.
The beaches are maintained all year round, and that together with the mild weather in winter makes it usual to find groups of sunbathers on the Torrevieja beaches throughout the year. It is during the summer that you can find the best choice for leisure activities.
