Banyets de la Reina, Shingle beach in El Campello, Spain
Banyets de la Reina is a 500-meter-long shingle beach in El Campello featuring a mix of pebbles, rock fragments, and larger stones along the shore. The terrain is uneven and rocky, creating a natural, rugged character throughout the coast.
The shore was an important fishing and fish-processing hub during Roman times, with stone pools carved from rock dating to the 2nd century. These ancient installations reveal how vital the area was to the Roman maritime economy.
The beach is woven into the local way of life, where residents and visitors come to swim, walk, and fish along the rocky shore. The preserved stone structures tell a story of how people have worked with the sea for generations.
The beach is directly accessible from the N-332 road with parking available nearby and regular bus service connecting to the area. Wear sturdy shoes since the rocky terrain is uneven, and visit during low tide to see the ancient stone structures most clearly.
The four stone-carved fish pools are remnants of a Roman fish-processing facility visible at low tide along the shoreline. These basins show how Romans processed and preserved fish directly in the water using natural rock formations.
