Playa del Pinet

Playa del Pinet is a serene beach situated in the southwestern region of Santa Pola, close to the Natural Park of Las Salinas. This untouched beach is known for its dunes and small sandy area, and is appreciated for its tranquil atmosphere. It is a preferred spot among naturists.

The beach is distinctive for its proximity to the Salinas de Bonmatí, an early 20th century site, and the base of the Torre Vigía el Pinet, which was historically used for communication with other towers and castles in the area. These nearby points of interest enhance the natural allure of the beach, and provide opportunities for short, picturesque walks.

Playa del Pinet is a natural beach, and therefore, only has basic facilities in order to maintain its environmental characteristics. Despite its size, measuring 1374.2 meters in length and 26 meters in width, it provides ample space for visitors. However, it does lack certain amenities, such as foot washing fountains.

Access to the beach is only possible on foot, adding to its secluded charm. A hiking route runs parallel to the shoreline, crossing the dunes of Santa Pola and includes one of the three micro-reserves of flora in the municipality. This route offers a beautiful panoramic view of the bay of Santa Pola, further enhancing the appeal of the beach.

The beach is remote and peaceful, and is not typically crowded, allowing visitors to enjoy its pristine condition. The cleanliness of Playa del Pinet is frequently acknowledged and appreciated by those who visit.
