Playa Las Villas, Pilar de la Horadada

Includes disabled access, with easy parking and shallow water

This is a beach for everyone, where efforts have been made to provide access for the physically disabled. There is even a walkway made of wooden slats for those who don’t want to burn their feet on the sand on the way for a dip. Concerts are organized here in summer, and there is ample parking.

There are no special children’s facilities here, but the beach provides toilets, drinking water and a lifeguard service during Easter and from mid-June to mid-September, as well as at weekends until 15th October.

There is no real dividing point between the Playa Las Villas and the Playa Higuericas, and although the car parks belong, strictly speaking, to Higuericas they are used by visitors to Las Villas as well. These car parks are most easily reached by leaving the N-332 at the lower end of the Calle Mayor in Pilar de La Horadada and heading straight on: just before the shore they are located one to your right and one to your left, and from them it is a one-minute walk to the beach. At the northern end of Las Villas the narrow residential streets reach almost down to the sand itself.

The colour of the sand at this beach serves as an example to understand the name of Costa Blanca, and the dunes and vegetation which separate it from the walkway and car parks at the southern end provide a charming backdrop to the 435-metre beach itself.

ISO 170001 certification for access for the disabled.
