Marine beaches

Between Playa del Cabañal and the Port of València (where ferries and cruise ships arrive), you have a space to enjoy the Mediterranean in a thousand different ways. The Marina of València is an ideal place for a stroll, to meet for a meal or drinks, and to enjoy the sun and the sea breeze. It is also perfect for sailing or practicing water sports. And even for working… with the best views!

Many families and groups of friends come here to relax by the sea, especially on weekends and summer nights. More and more boating enthusiasts choose this destination to moor their vessels. And if you need to work, alongside the offices of innovative companies and startups you will find modern coworking spaces.
