Port Saplaya: Beach, Canals and Water Sports

In Port Saplaya, an inland harbour forms several canals, while low-rise residential buildings in various shades characterise the townscape.

The combination of a seafront promenade, marina, water-based activities and maritime tradition can be divided into different areas of focus for your personal trip planning.

Nature

Port Saplaya beach is characterised by fine, golden-coloured sand. Port Saplaya beach has a seafront promenade with restaurants and a nautical club.

Port Saplaya beach has access walkways, toilets and showers; there is also a car park suitable for people with reduced mobility. The beaches have reserved parking spaces, ramps and special walkways for wheelchairs. The facilities for accessible bathing and accessible beaches are located opposite the Al Campo roundabout.

For your planning, you can give separate consideration to the sandy beach, promenade and the beach facilities mentioned above if you would like to combine different daily rhythms.

For your trip planning, you can consider activities, courses, jet ski rides and the boat trip as separate areas of focus.

Experiences

Pool Beach Saplaya is located 10 metres from the sea at the end of Port Saplaya's northern seafront promenade. As a beach club at Alboraya's municipal swimming facility, Pool Beach Saplaya has a swimming pool, a solarium, a terrace with a bar and cafeteria, and an adjacent multi-purpose sports court.

The dog beach is located in the southern part of Port Saplaya, between the northern mouth of the El Carraixet and the mouth of the La Marquesa irrigation canal.

Culture

The Fiestas del Carmen honour Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the patron saint of sailors, and include a maritime procession in her honour. The Fiestas del Carmen take place in the second or third week of July.

Port Saplaya was established as a residential area in the 1970s.

If you would like to combine the beach, sporting activities and traditions, you can consider the date of the Fiestas del Carmen as a separate reason for travelling alongside the other water and coastal themes.

When searching for a holiday apartment in Port Saplaya, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation policies on the listing pages.
