Urban beach of Piles, in la Safor, in front of the promenade, between Miramar and Terranova (Oliva). The nautical guide of the Comunitat Valenciana groups Piles and Oliva as the area where the Garbí is most constant, and the beach is known as a windsurf spot, with a shallow sandy bottom. The wind is the south-east thermal on afternoons from March to September, side-on, although gusty. In autumn and winter the Levante and Gregal bring waves, and the Poniente blows offshore. Caution: the sand is narrow and the promenade and houses are right next to it, so there is little room to launch and land; in summer you can only enter the water through a buoyed channel. There are bars and restaurants on the promenade, a fountain next to the launch area and parking about 270 m away.
