Here are the beaches of La Zenia, what each one offers and how far they are from our houses.<\/p><a class=\"zh-btn\" href=\"#cerca\">Which beach is closest to each house?<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"zh-facts\"><div><b>16 km<\/b>of coastline in Orihuela Costa, with coves and sandy beaches<\/div><div><b>750 m<\/b>from La Zenia beach to La Zenia Holiday Home<\/div><div><b>10 min<\/b>walk to the beach from the villa with private pool<\/div><div><b>2 km<\/b>coastal walk from La Zenia to Cala Capit\u00e1n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"zh-sec\"><h2>The beaches of La Zenia<\/h2><h3>La Zenia beach (Cala Bosque)<\/h3><p>The main beach in La Zenia and one of the busiest in Orihuela Costa: 258 metres of fine sand and over 100 metres wide, with a beach bar open from morning to night, lifeguards and a Red Cross post in summer, toilets, foot showers, pedal boat and jet ski hire, and an accessible point with amphibious chairs for people with reduced mobility. There is parking next to the beach. It is the closest beach to La Zenia Holiday Home and to the villa with private pool.<\/p><h3>Cala Cerrada<\/h3><p>A small cove, about 150 metres long, tucked between rocks inside the La Zenia estate and close to Zenia Boulevard. It has toilets, sunbeds and parasols for hire, and caf\u00e9s and bars up above. Its rock walls give shade in the early afternoon, the sand is white and fine, and the viewpoints above have great views. If you want a quieter beach, this is the one.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"zh-sec\"><h2>Seafront walk: from La Zenia to Cabo Roig<\/h2><p>From La Zenia beach a seafront path with railings, benches and street lights takes you about 2 kilometres to Cala Capit\u00e1n and carries on to La Caleta in Cabo Roig. It is an easy walk, perfect early in the morning or at sunset.<\/p><h3>Cala Capit\u00e1n<\/h3><p>Fine golden sand, very well equipped, facing the small Isla del Carmen. It is a wide, sheltered cove where the water is usually calm, which is why families love it.<\/p><h3>La Caleta (Cabo Roig)<\/h3><p>The Cabo Roig beach, next to the marina, with restaurants all around.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"zh-sec\"><h2>Heading north: Playa Flamenca and Punta Prima<\/h2><p>North of La Zenia you have Cala Estaca and Cala Mosca in Playa Flamenca, 1.3 km from the villa with private pool, and Punta Prima, the last beach in Orihuela Costa before Torrevieja, surrounded by residential areas and with every facility.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"zh-sec\"><h2>Heading south: Aguamarina and Campoamor<\/h2><p>Aguamarina is a small cove with very clear water, good for snorkelling; it is the closest beach to the Monte Zenia duplex, about 2.5 km away. A little further south is Campoamor, with La Glea and Barranco Rubio beaches (the longest in Orihuela Costa, 655 metres) and the Dehesa de Campoamor marina.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"zh-sec\"><h2>When to swim and tips<\/h2><div class=\"zh-trips\"><div><b>May<\/b><span>18\u201320 \u00b0C<\/span>The water is still cool: only for the brave.<\/div><div><b>June<\/b><span>21\u201323 \u00b0C<\/span>The water is already pleasant.<\/div><div><b>July and August<\/b><span>25\u201328 \u00b0C<\/span>The best time for swimming.<\/div><div><b>September and October<\/b><span>swimming season<\/span>The sea is still warm and there are fewer people.<\/div><\/div><p>At La Zenia beach the sea is open and sometimes there are waves, so keep an eye on small children. At Cala Bosque and Cala Capit\u00e1n there are signs warning of possible currents: follow the flags and the lifeguards. From June to September dogs are not allowed on most beaches in Orihuela Costa.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"zh-sec\" id=\"cerca\"><h2>Which beach is closest to each house?<\/h2><div class=\"zh-trips\"><div><b><a href=\"\/en\/properties\/villa-piscina-privada-la-zenia\/\">Duplex with private pool<\/a><\/b><span>La Zenia<\/span>La Zenia beach about a 10-minute walk away; Playa Flamenca 1.3 km.<\/div><div><b><a href=\"\/en\/properties\/la-zenia-holiday-home\/\">La Zenia Holiday Home<\/a><\/b><span>La Zenia<\/span>La Zenia beach about 750 m away, around a 15-minute walk.<\/div><div><b><a href=\"\/en\/properties\/casa-3-dormitorios-terrazas-barbacoa-la-zenia\/\">House with terraces and barbecue<\/a><\/b><span>Los Dolses<\/span>La Zenia, Aguamarina, Cala Capit\u00e1n and Cabo Roig about 3\u20133.5 km away.<\/div><div><b><a href=\"\/en\/properties\/duplex-solarium-piscina-comunitaria-orihuela-costa\/\">Duplex with solarium<\/a><\/b><span>Monte Zenia<\/span>Aguamarina about 2.5 km away.<\/div><div><b><a href=\"\/en\/properties\/apartamento-montegolf-terraza-privada-orihuela-costa\/\">MonteGolf Apartment<\/a><\/b><span>Villamart\u00edn<\/span>La Zenia, Aguamarina and Playa Flamenca about 5 km away by car.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"zh-sec\"><h2>A little further: Cabo de Palos and La Manga<\/h2><p>About 30 minutes by car, on the Mar Menor, you have Cabo de Palos and La Manga: crystal-clear water, rocky coves, the lighthouse and great spots for diving.

For something quieter, Cala Cerrada. And for a walk with a swim at the end, Cala Capit\u00e1n.<\/p><h3>Can you walk to the beach from your houses?<\/h3><p>Yes, from the villa with private pool and from La Zenia Holiday Home, both in La Zenia. From Los Dolses, Monte Zenia and Villamart\u00edn it takes a few minutes by car.<\/p><h3>Which house should I choose if the beach matters most?<\/h3><p>La Zenia Holiday Home, about 750 m from the beach, or the villa with private pool, about a 10-minute walk.
