Platja de Llevant is a broad stretch of golden sand on Valencia’s coast, with restaurants and small hotels facing the shore. You can swim, try surfing or play beach volleyball, then walk the palm-lined Paseo Marítimo for a meal or a fresh juice. Showers are available to rinse off sand and salt, and police presence adds to the beach’s safety measures. Facilities can be limited, so bring what you need for changing and check the sand before settling in.
The shore and promenade
Platja de Llevant is also referred to as Playa de las Arenas and El Cabanyal. The Paseo Marítimo runs beside the beach, lined with palm trees and places to eat and drink. A walk along it gives you a choice of restaurants and bars overlooking the long stretch of shore.

The beach area can be reached by metro from Valencia city centre in about 15 minutes. Showers are available for rinsing off after time in the sand or sea. Changing cabins may be lacking, and toilets have been reported closed, so bring a changing robe or other cover and plan ahead.
