Finestrat, Urban golden sand beach in Finestrat, Spain.
Finestrat Beach is an urban sand beach extending approximately 300 meters along the coast with a width of about 51 meters. Rocky formations frame both ends of the shore, creating distinct sections for different activities.
The beach represents Finestrat's only coastal access, as the municipality's main settlement lies several kilometers inland in the mountains. This shoreline developed as a recreational extension of the mountain village relatively recently.
The beach takes its name from the municipality it belongs to, Finestrat, whose historic centre lies about 8 km inland. Bathers reach the sand via the CV-767 road from the village or on foot from the adjacent Villajoyosa seafront. In summer the shore hosts informal volleyball and football matches; outside July and August it is mostly used by residents of the nearby urbanisations.
The beach has basic facilities including showers, changing rooms, and designated areas for different activities. Be aware that parking and surrounding infrastructure are managed separately from the beach municipality, which may affect access arrangements.
The sand of this beach belongs to Finestrat, a mountain municipality whose main village lies several kilometres inland, while the parking areas and surrounding buildings fall under neighbouring Villajoyosa. The boundary between the two terms runs across the shore itself, so a single visit crosses two municipal administrations.
