Platja del Racó, Mediterranean beach in Cullera, Spain.
Playa Racó is a sandy beach with clear water along Spain's Mediterranean coast near Cullera. It stretches roughly 1.4 kilometers between the Aloha building and the rocky headland of Cap Blanc, with a typical width of about 30 meters.
The beach took its present form during the 1960s tourism growth that transformed Cullera from a small fishing community into a coastal destination. This period of development reshaped how the waterfront looked and functioned.
The promenade along the water serves as a gathering place where visitors watch fishing boats return with their catch while dining on fresh seafood. This daily rhythm connects the place to generations of people who have lived from the sea.
The beach is well set up for visitors with mobility challenges, offering ramps, water-accessible wheelchairs, and reserved parking areas. These facilities make it easy for people of all abilities to enjoy the water.
The water is sheltered by the Cap Blanc breakwater, which keeps swimming conditions steady throughout the year. This natural protection means swimmers face fewer rough conditions than at many nearby beaches.
