User reviews
"This place is an ideal spot for relaxation, with a tranquil atmosphere and parking right nearby. There's a cafe and restroom nearby, and it's connected to Albufera National Park, so if you're feeling adventurous you can go for a long walk. The water is shallow enough for kids to enjoy as well."
Alice
"This location is massive and immaculately clean. Even if you can't swim, it's still a great spot to go as it takes a while to get to the deep end. There are a ton of boats in the ocean, which can make it a bit tough to swim, but there's not a lot of tourists around so you can take a peaceful kayak tour."
