El Saler Beach, Valencia

Carrera del Riu, Valencia, Comunidad Valenciana

Description

El Saler Beach is located in the Albufera Natural Park, to the south of Valencia. It is sandy, bordered by dunes and pine trees and stretches over 2.5km although technically it continues under different names. The beach holds the 'blue flag' rating with lifeguards on duty over some sections during the summer season.

Access & Transport

The beach is 12km southeast from the city centre on the CV401/CV500. Parking is available. Buses 24 and 25 go to the small town of El Saler, a 5 mins walk from the beach.

Instructions & Recommendations

The beach and the sun can be strong here so don't forget the usual protective equipment (hat/cap, "green" sunblock, sunglasses, slippers) and some water. We suggest combining this activity with the lagoon area of the Albufera Natural Park.

Meta review

El Saler is often listed on travel websites as one of the best beaches around Valencia and online reviews are very much of the same opinion. Visitors mention it is mostly unspoilt and little crowded with clear water but the sand isn't aways the finest (some pebbly sections) and there are some occasional jellyfishes. Some reviewers also note that dogs are allowed and that there are quite a few restaurants around as well as plenty of parking options.

Environmental & Social

Low carbon footprint and community neutral

Conclusion

El Saler is a good beach option for anybody visiting or living in Valencia but it is not a "destination" beach. The good infrastructure and lack of waves make it attractive for families in particular.

Key positive

Good infrastructure and not busy

Close to Valencia with a scenic hinterland

Key negative

Sand not golden and can be coarse

Suitability

Kids / family friendly Wheelchair users can access the beach in various places
