Playa de Finestrat, Mediterranean beach in Finestrat, Spain.
Playa de Finestrat is a sandy beach on the Costa Blanca, stretching about 270 meters along the coast. The shore is framed by rocky outcrops called La Barreta and Xoriguer, creating a defined cove with soft sand.
A watchtower was built along the cliff edge to guard against maritime threats in earlier centuries. This defensive structure was part of the coastal protection system that monitored the shoreline.
The beach hosts an annual beach volleyball tournament that has been celebrated here for decades, drawing local players and visitors. This event reflects how the community values sports and gathering together by the sea.
The beach has lifeguard services, sports facilities, restrooms, and wheelchair access for visitors. Expect variable wind and weather conditions, especially during warmer months when conditions can change throughout the day.
The nearby Puig Campana mountain acts as a natural wind barrier, creating specific local wind patterns. This geographic feature makes the weather conditions here different from other beaches along the coast.
