Fine picture of the popular Los Locos beach, one of the excellent Torrevieja beaches in that well known Costa Blanca town. At the back of the beach there are a number of bars and restaurants with an even bigger selection if you choose to search around the various little back streets. On of the poular bars is Murph's Bar and another well known bar is Durty Nellies.
There are a good number beaches in Torrevieja and this is just one of the more popular ones located in the north of the town heading towards La Mata. A little futher on is another popular beach - Playa del Cura (Priest's Beach), and here you will find the start of the seafront promenade (paseo) where the Spanish in particular love an evening stroll.

Torrevieja
Going further south beyond the Torrevieja marina is the largest Torrevieja beach - Playa de los Naufragos, a large and popular beach which gets very busy during the summer months and even into the winter on fine days, however due to the Spanish tradition of getting as near to the sea as possible, no matter how close you are to other beach lovers, there is always lots of space at the back of the beach.
Head by car a little further south and you will find some wonderful beaches along the Orihuela Costa, these include Playa Flamenca, Punta Prima, La Zenia and Cabo Roig. Most of these beaches have 'blue flag' status and are very safe and clean.
