Best Beach in Orihuela Costa? Why Mil Palmeras Is Our Pick
If you're searching for the best beach in Orihuela Costa, there are plenty of beautiful beaches to choose from. But if you asked us which one we'd recommend for a relaxed day by the sea, especially for families and visitors exploring the Costa Blanca South, our pick would be Mil Palmeras Beach.
Located between Orihuela Costa and Torre de la Horadada, Mil Palmeras combines a wide sandy beach, a Mediterranean setting and easy access to local amenities. It's also an area worth considering if you're thinking about buying a holiday home, apartment, townhouse or villa close to the coast.
Best Beach in Orihuela Costa – Why Mil Palmeras?
Mil Palmeras has a particularly appealing combination of beach, space and convenience.
The beach is known for its fine, light-coloured sand and open coastal setting. There is also a promenade, beach facilities and places nearby where you can stop for a drink, meal or ice cream.
The beach sits at the boundary between Orihuela and Pilar de la Horadada, so you'll often see Mil Palmeras included in searches for both Orihuela Costa beaches and Torre de la Horadada beaches.
For visitors, that makes it a great base for exploring several of the beaches and coastal areas in this part of the Costa Blanca.
What Is Mil Palmeras Beach Like?
If you're visiting for the first time, Mil Palmeras is a good choice when you want a traditional Mediterranean beach day without needing to travel far from the residential areas.
The beach is open, sandy and family-friendly, with facilities including a children's play area, promenade, beach services and seasonal refreshments. The official tourism information also lists accessibility facilities, lifeguards, parking, restaurants and water-sports-related services.
During the summer months, the area becomes livelier, while outside the main season it can offer a much quieter coastal atmosphere.
That's one of the reasons Mil Palmeras property can be attractive to people looking for a home they can enjoy throughout the year rather than somewhere that only works as a summer destination.
How Does Mil Palmeras Compare With Other Beaches?
One of the great things about this part of the Costa Blanca is that you don't have to choose just one beach.
Heading north towards Orihuela Costa, you'll find Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, Cabo Roig and Campoamor, each with its own character.
La Zenia is popular for its beach, restaurants and shopping, while Cabo Roig offers a mix of beaches, coastal walks and the marina area. Campoamor has several attractive sandy beaches and a more established residential feel.
Heading south towards Torre de la Horadada, Playa de las Higuericas is another excellent option, particularly if you enjoy a wide sandy beach and open coastal surroundings.
The municipality of Orihuela has around 16 kilometres of coastline, including beaches and coves such as Punta Prima, La Zenia, Cabo Roig, Campoamor, Playa Flamenca and Mil Palmeras.
So while we may choose Mil Palmeras as our favourite, the best beach for you will depend on what you're looking for.
Mil Palmeras or Torre de la Horadada?
This is a common question from visitors and property buyers.
Mil Palmeras has a relaxed, residential beach atmosphere, while Torre de la Horadada offers a different coastal experience with its beaches, promenade, restaurants and marina.
If you want to explore the area properly, we'd recommend visiting both.
The good news for property buyers is that you can also look at homes across both areas. CASA PRO Properties currently showcases apartments, townhouses and villas for sale in Torre de la Horadada, including homes designed around beach and coastal living.
