Playa Mil Palmeras, Pilar de la Horadada
A popular beach with summer lifeguard cover
This runs indistinguishably into Playa Río Seco
Mil Palmeras: This is a very popular beach within the municipality of Pilar de la Horadada and offers all kinds of services to bathers in high season, including safety precautions and lifeguards.
It is a favourite with visitors from the UK and Scandinavia as well as the Spanish, and offers all of the facilities the visitor would expect from such a busy destination, including showers and beach bars.
There are plenty of hostelries nearby offering food and refreshments and in the summer beach bars are well stocked with cool drinks, ice creams and tapas, also hiring out loungers and sunshades.
There are also water slides and offshore bathing platforms in the summer with “toys” to entertain the youngsters.
The beach is just over half a kilometre long and wide (30 metres), and joins into the neighbouring Playa Vistamar, which is itself 335 metres long, creating wide spaces which are busy along the waterfront and empty away from the beachline. It's actually almost impossible to see where one beach ends and the other begins.
During the peak months this is a fairly high occupancy beach, partly due to the ample car parking facilities which lie just inland of the beach alongside new residential developments, some of which are still under construction. In the past there were few non-Spaniards occupying the properties in the Mil Palmeras area, but now it is a multi-national area all year round.
This proximity to urban developments ensures this is well used during the summer months.
The beach is easily accessible from the motorway for those visiting from further away, and access for the disabled is facilitated by wooden ramps and walkways from the car parks.
