About this Beach: Heading just slightly north of Playa de Los Locos leads you to a beautiful string of small, rugged rocky coves (including Cala Carral and Cala Cornuda).

The Vibe: Wide, Spacious & Natural.
Walking Distance: A longer, scenic 35-40 minute walk north along the coast (or a quick 5-minute hop on the local Line A bus).
About this Beach: If you love long walks right along the shoreline, this is the ultimate destination. La Mata is the longest beach in Torrevieja, stretching over 2 kilometers of wide, pristine sand dunes. It has a gorgeous wooden boardwalk, fantastic beachfront chiringuitos (beach bars), and is known for slightly bigger Mediterranean waves.
