Playa Vistamar, Mediterranean beach in Orihuela, Spain
Playa Vistamar is a sandy Mediterranean beach in Orihuela stretching roughly 130 meters along the coast. The strand sits nestled between natural rock formations and borders the adjacent beaches of Mil Palmeras and Rio.
Orihuela's coastal area underwent major transformation during the 1960s tourism boom, converting fishing settlements into modern beach destinations. This shift shaped the entire shoreline and established the foundation for today's visitor infrastructure.
The beach holds both ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications, reflecting Spanish coastal management standards for environmental protection and service quality.
The beach provides showers, toilets, sunbed rentals, and a parking area accommodating around 100 vehicles for visitors. The facilities are set up to make your beach day comfortable and straightforward.
A raised promenade winds along the beach following the natural shape of ancient rock formations carved by countless years of sea movement. This walking path creates an interesting mix of geology and human design that shapes your route.
