The beaches of Valencia confirm their Blue Flag status

Beach season is almost here, and Valencia is already prepared to raise the Blue Flag over seven of its beaches: Cabanyal and Malvarrosa in the city; as well as Arbre del Gos, El Saler, La Garrofera, La Devesa and Recatí Perellonet, all south of town.

Since 2016, all the city of Valencia's beaches have been granted the Blue Flag designation, including Pinedo, which was only dropped from the list so that it could become a pet-friendly beach to provide a place for tourists visiting Valencia with their pets.

The Blue Flag has become the most-recognized symbol of tourism eco-quality, guaranteeing the quality of the water and sand, respect for the environment, accessibility and basic services for bathers.

Valencian beaches lead the way

This emblem also waves over another 23 beaches in the province of Valencia, with lovely sandy spaces very close to the city, including Cullera, Pobla de Farnals, Puzol and Sagunto. In the entire Valencian Community, a total of 153 beaches and ports have obtained the Blue Flag, making it the Spanish autonomous community with the most designations. Additionally, Spain retains its spot at the top of the rankings, a position it has held for over 30 years, ahead of France, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Portugal. 

Public transport to all the beaches

All the beaches are accessible via public transport, thanks to the number 19, 32, 92 and 95 bus lines, and the number 4 and 6 tram lines for the urban beaches. The number 25 bus will take you to the beaches of L’Albufera Natural Park and surrounding area south of the city.
