Playa de la Caracola, Golden sand beach in Benicarló, Spain.

Playa de la Caracola is a beach along the Mediterranean coast near Benicarló, featuring fine golden sand throughout its length. The shoreline provides ample space for swimming and relaxation along the water's edge.

The beach developed as a recreational destination during Spain's coastal tourism expansion. This growth established it as an important leisure spot for the region.

Local people gather here throughout summer to enjoy beach activities and evening social gatherings. The beach serves as a meeting point where the community connects and spends time together by the sea.

The location has showers, trash bins, and lifeguard coverage during the warmer months. Visitors should plan for summer visits to find all facilities and services fully available.

The name comes from Mediterranean snails that scientists visit to study their populations. These sea creatures are a notable feature of the local marine environment and gave this place its distinctive name.
