Playa de la Caracola, Golden sand beach in Benicarló, Spain.
The Playa de la Caracola extends for 800 meters along the Mediterranean coast, featuring a 15-meter wide strip of fine golden sand.
The development of Playa de la Caracola as a recreational area coincided with the growth of coastal tourism in eastern Spain during the 1960s.
Local residents gather at Playa de la Caracola throughout summer evenings to participate in beach volleyball tournaments and outdoor music performances.
The beach maintains hygiene facilities, including showers and waste bins, while lifeguards monitor swimming areas during peak season from June to September.
Marine researchers frequently visit this beach to study the population of Mediterranean snails, which gave the beach its name Caracola.
