Platja de la Conxa, Blue Flag beach in Oropesa del Mar, Spain.
Platja de la Conxa is a sandy beach stretching roughly 850 meters along the coast with a width of about 60 meters. The shoreline is shaped like a shell, a natural formation that protects swimmers from strong winds and currents.
This coast was once communal land before becoming a public bathing destination over time. The transformation preserved the natural shell formation that continues to define the shoreline today.
Summer brings swimmers and sunbathers to this stretch of coast, while the nearby promenade draws evening walkers and families seeking sea air. Local residents use it regularly as part of their daily routine, particularly during warmer months.
The beach has lifeguards on duty, showers, toilets, and parking available for visitors throughout the main season. Plan to arrive early on warm days to avoid crowds and benefit from cooler morning hours.
Dogs on leashes are allowed on this beach from November through February, giving pet owners a chance for seaside walks during quieter months. This makes it a rare option for dog owners seeking year-round coastal access.
