Platja de Port Saplaya, Mediterranean beach in Alboraia, Spain
Playa de Port Saplaya is a sandy beach in the coastal town of Alboraia with fine golden sand and clear water for swimming. The beach stretches along the shore and is framed by a nearby marina and residential development.
The beach area was developed in the 1970s with the construction of the Port Saplaya marina, turning the coastline into a modern residential complex. This development led to the creation of a new coastal community in this location.
The area is known for its connection to Valencian food culture, particularly the famous paella dish and horchata, a drink made from locally grown tiger nuts. Visitors find restaurants near the beach where these traditional specialties are served.
The beach offers important facilities such as showers, toilets, and lifeguard services, particularly in the warmer months. Visitors should arrive early to find good parking and space on the sand.
The beach borders a network of canals lined with colorful buildings that earned the area recognition as the Little Venice of Valencia. This unusual layout with its mirrored waterways makes the location something special along the Valencian coast.
