Playazo de Villaricos

The 550-meter beach presents fine-grained, light-colored sand alongside Mediterranean waters at the entrance of the Villaricos village near a historic castle.

The beach area maintains connections to its past as a silver mining region, with remnants of the former mint La Fabrica del Duro still visible along the coast.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at the beach, reflecting the maritime heritage of this Mediterranean coastal community through generations.

The beach provides walkways for access, though they do not extend to the shoreline, and visitors can contact tourist information at 619 234 475.

The waters near the beach contain underwater remnants of an old iron loading dock from the mining period, creating an interesting spot for marine exploration.
