Playa de Torrelamata, Sand beach in Torrevieja, Spain.
Playa de Torrelamata is a sandy beach along the Mediterranean coast near Torrevieja with golden sand and moderate waves. The shoreline spans several kilometers and works well for swimming and water sports.
The place gained attention in the 1960s when Swedish residents built the Lomas del Mar settlement near Cabo Cervera. This development led locals to call the area the Swedish beach for many years.
The place gets its name from mata, a local limestone shrub that covers the surrounding landscape and shapes how locals see this coastal area.
The beach has shower stations, lifeguard towers, and free parking areas nearby. Gentle access ramps into the water make it easy for different types of visitors to use the beach.
Right next to this beach sits the nature reserve of La Mata lagoons with old vineyards nearby. These vineyards have made white wine for centuries with a protected origin label.
