Playa las Arenas y Playa de Cabanyal
This beach is the beginning of the amazing sea front of Valencia.
The beach joins with the straights of the America’s Cup Port and it is the closest, the most built-up and the most accessible beach to the city and therefore it is the official city beach for activities and events. Whenever there is a sports event or a public event it generally happens here.
The southern part of this beach is a massive leisure area for promenades, events, restaurants, bars and hotels. The northern part becomes more of a traditional beach gradually merging into the golden sands of Malvarossa beach.
This beach front has many promenades, great for romantic sunset watching or socialising with a group of friends. The luxurious avenue of Paseo Maritimo is a great spot for this. In the summer there is also a market full of clothes, accessories and souvenirs.
The Playa de las Arenas is also famous for gastronomical delights. Over half of it is lined with restaurants with fine Valencian cuisine and the best Valencian paella. There is also a selection of bars and cocktail lounges, such as Vivir sin Dormir and Cabbana Beach. This stretch of the coast also has the only hotels on the beach front including the 5-6 star spa giant Las Arenas and the magnificent Neptuno Hotel.
Naturally, some people do choose to spread out in the Sun on the sands of this beach, but it is not as popular as further along. usually people choose this stretch for a walk or a game on the sand.
Las Arenas blends into Playa de Cabanyal, where the people start to gather for uninterrupted sunbathing. The Cabanyal beach, in turn, gradually merges into the Playa de Malvarossa, Valencias main seafront.
