Semi-wild beach between Pobla de Farnals and Rafalell i Vistabella, north of València, with the protected marshland behind it and a series of breakwaters that divide it into sandy pockets. The launch is in the central pocket, which has wide sand, between two rock breakwaters. It is an autumn to spring spot: with Levante and Gregal, side-onshore wind enters with waves, the typical session for the north of the city, while in summer the south-easterly thermal enters onshore and weaker than south of València. The winter Poniente blows offshore: it is not for riding. Hazards: breakwaters every 250 metres (do not ride between them or downwind), currents next to the rocks and the Pobla Marina port to the north. There are no services on the beach; restaurants are in Pobla Marina, about 600 metres away. From 15 June to 15 September, you can only enter the water through a buoyed channel.
