In context.

The only sandy beach in its town, set in a sheltered, NE-facing bay with coarse golden sand and a gentle, shallow slope, fronted by a lively promenade. It can produce a well-known surf break on easterly Levante swells, though diving is prohibited due to shallow depth. Dogs and nudism are banned. Cruz Roja lifeguards cover the beach daily 11:00-19:00 from 1 July to 15 September, with watchtowers and an adapted bathing service.
