-
With a coast line of 23 km, El Campello offers a varied and attractive coast. Next to the port and in the old fisherman’s area, the Carrer la Mar beach, regenerated with fine golden sand, runs parallel to the pedestrian promenade. This promenade, together with the port walk, form the leisure and entertainment centre. Finally Muchavista beach extends to the south along more than 3 km before merging into San Juan beach. And at its extreme north there are cliffs and secluded coves with translucent waters.
The defence and preservation of our coasts has received the blue flag recognition, and thanks to the environmental management system of the Beaches and coves hold the ISO 14.001 and ISO 9.001 Certifications for the environmental quality, for the quality of its waters, the upkeep and cleanliness of its surroundings and for its services and facilities.
