Description and location of the Dunes Beach in Peñiscola (Valencia region)
Our opinion on the Dunes Beach
North of Peniscola, we find several recent urbanization with modern residences by the sea. It is the extension of the center of Peniscola and Papa Luna Avenue (the avenue is a few kilometers long. It starts at the foot of the Papa Luna castle in the old city). Admittedly we are away from the hustle and bustle of Peniscola but the beach that borders its urbanization has some advantages over the beach of the old town. Here the beach environment seems more preserved thanks to a buffer zone with dunes. The pedestrian promenade is large and away from the main street…but alas not many shops in the area…we are mainly in a residential area with hotels and holiday residences…The beach is well maintained and is supervised in summer with several beach volleyball courts. Interesting area for those searching for calm.

Photos of the Dunes Beach
North from the old city of Peniscola (we can see in the distance the rocky promontory with the castle), we find the new urbanization of Peniscola with numerous recent buildings.
Even if we are in an urban zone, the beach is wilder thanks to a dune space.
The facilities are numerous with several beach soccer courts, showers…and an impressive surveillance post !
It is the last big beach of the north of Peniscola, the next cities mainly have pebble beaches. In the distance, we guess the port of Benicarlo.
Dunes, a pedestrian promenade, big sandy beach ... the environment is pleasant but litle animation here…
The pedestrian promenade is huge…ideal for jogging.
