The pleasant Mediterranean climate will accompany you throughout your trip and will sunbathe your summer memories.

Thanks to its wide range of family activities, this city will be the ideal option for you: it is possible to combine leisure, relaxation and family moments in its streets, beaches, restaurants and cultural spaces. Even so, you’ll have to organize the trip well to make the most of the time with your children, go sightseeing and rest. If you don't know where to start and want to enjoy your dream family vacation, we suggest several plans that will meet all your expectations (and keep the kids happy too!). Look no further!

Even with everything else that Torrevieja has to offer, its number one attraction is still its famous beach. The beach of Torrevieja is ideal for visiting with children. In addition, there are several coves that are also easily accessible, such as Cala del Moro and Punta Margalla. If you want to take a dip and let the kids have fun, you can't miss these beaches and coves in Torrevieja!

The Shipwrecked Beach is a must if you’re traveling with the family. This is one of the most popular beaches in the municipality, with more than 7,000 daily visitors in high season. It has a wide range of services, such as a small water park for children. The parking area is limited, but it is accessible by bus from Torrevieja centre. This is the most dynamic and lively option to enjoy among the beaches of Torrevieja. If you and your family like to enjoy a more crowded environment, Shipwrecked Beach (known locallly as Playa de los Naúfragos) will be the ideal alternative for your holidays.

The Playa del Cura in Torrevieja is famous for its integration into the urban area of the city. This beach is 325 metres long and 27 metres wide. It is the most central one in Torrevieja and is bordered to the south by the Paseo Marítimo Juan Aparicio and the Tintero Restaurant and to the north by the Monument to the Cultures of the Mediterranean. It has a newly renovated promenade with lots of bars, gift shops, ice cream shops and restaurants. In Playa del Cura there are 4 watchtowers, lifeguards on the beach and first aid. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy the beach and walk in the same place!

Playa de los Locos, which has a length of 760 meters and a width of 25 meters, has fine golden sand, although there are some stones. The waters are calm, with little swell. It is made of fine golden sand, with an uneven sea floor under clear, intense blue water. To the north, its environment is marked by a succession of small coves that extend to Cape Cervera. It’s the perfect option for quieter and safer bathing, ideal for enjoying with the little ones.

If you want to visit the coves, you’ll be surprised by their crystal clear waters and the nature they contain. In them, you can enjoy water activities such as diving. You’ll have the opportunity to contemplate the marine fauna and flora of the coves in the most natural way possible. One point to keep in mind when visiting them is the lack of services around. If you are looking for a natural and quiet environment, this will not be a problem. The coves that we recommend the most are Cala Piteras, Cala Ferris and Cala del Moro.

The Salinas de Torrevieja are located within the Lagunas de la Mata and Torrevieja natural park, in the pink lagoon. Children and adults alike will love taking a tour of this park on the little train. On this tour you can see the salt mountains and learn all about the salt flats. It will, without a doubt, be an unforgettable activity on your vacation. What are you waiting for to visit them with your family?

On this short train trip, kids will learn all about the salt flats in a very interactive way. They can enter the salt mine and even touch the salt with their bare hands. This allows them to learn in a different way and makes them remember this activity on their holidays. However, not only will children learn, adults can also discover new and interesting things! It’s a perfect plan for the whole family!

It may also be interesting to visit Laguna Rosa (Pink Lagoon) itself. This is a very curious geographical accident, both for children and adults. Its pink waters and special features make it an unforgettable visit. Although there are some more restricted areas, where fauna and flora are protected and swimming is not allowed, there are others further away that can be enjoyed as well. Kids will be amazed when they go to bathe and discover how they float due to the high amount of salt in the water. They'll love it!

Located among the town’s roads and streets, the Garden of Nations extends over a plot of twenty-six thousand square meters, fully fenced. Dedicated to the nations of Europe, it features a scale reproduction of the map of the European continent.

One of the elements that stand out most in its interior is a lake measuring six thousand square meters, with the outline of the European continent, which contains six thousand cubic meters of non-drinkable water. The lake is home to geese, ducks, and three thousand fish including coloured carp. The vegetation is abundant and Mediterranean. This park also has a terrarium with iguanas, galapagos, and children's attractions such as the big dinosaur-slide, which kids will love. Inside is the “Los Aljibes” Exhibition Hall, which houses different art exhibitions in the city.

You can also rent a duck-shaped boat to take a pleasant walk on the waters of this park and enjoy everything it has to offer in a special way. Enjoy a different experience with your family while you discover more about the native nature of the Mediterranean and Torrevieja. You can do this activity without going too far from the urban centre. It’s win-win!
