Pinedo Beach, Valencia, Sandy beach in Pinedo, Valencia, Spain
Pinedo Beach is a long sandy shore on the Mediterranean coast in the southern part of Valencia, separated from the inland area by dunes and low-growing vegetation. Behind the beach, the land opens into the fields and orchards of the Valencian huerta.
The area around Pinedo was long shaped by farming and formed the southern edge of Valencia's urban territory. As the port expanded and infrastructure developed through the 20th century, the shoreline gradually shifted into a recreational space for residents.
The beach takes its name from the hamlet of Pinedo, a pedanía of Valencia. Along its three kilometres, the sand is backed by rice fields, and the southern end falls within the Albufera Natural Park. Between the Casa Negra and the old Plexi factory, a free stretch is set aside for nudism.
The beach is reachable by bike along coastal paths, and there are parking areas on site including spaces for visitors with limited mobility. The shore is long enough that walking a bit further from the main access points usually leads to less crowded spots, even on busy days.
The naturist stretch runs from the Casa Negra to the site of the former Plexi factory, a landmark locals use to orient themselves on the three-kilometre shore. South of Pinedo the sand continues into the protected area of the Albufera natural park.
