Playa de Torrenueva, Mediterranean beach in La Línea de la Concepción, Spain
Playa de Torrenueva is a sandy beach in La Línea de la Concepción stretching for approximately 1250 meters with shallow waters and moderate wave conditions. The water is suitable for swimming and allows for various water activities along its length.
The name derives from Torre Nueva, a defensive tower built in the 16th century as part of the coastal fortification system against maritime raids. This structure marked the area's strategic importance for centuries.
The northern section serves as a gathering point where locals and visitors experience everyday coastal life through the presence of traditional fishing boats. The beach reflects how the community maintains its connection to maritime traditions.
Facilities include showers, restrooms, waste bins, and over 100 parking spaces accessible from the A-383 road. It is advisable to arrive early during peak times to secure parking.
The location offers unobstructed views of Gibraltar's northern face, creating a rare vantage point where two distinct territories appear within a single landscape. This geographical proximity transforms the beach into something more than a typical swimming destination.
