There are many types of beaches. Black, brown, white and golden. Sandy, pebbly, rocky, with murky waters or transparent. In the city or on a deserted island.
Our beach has golden sand, is wide enough to never fill up and with protected dunes behind. James, a Canadian friend, said it has a bit of that Martha’s Vineyard feel. I have never been there, but I really enjoy the beach we have here.
If you like to walk, early morning or the winter months are ideal as there will be some people, but still ample space. The sand is quite firm right next to the water, enough to even run on it comfortably. In summer, there’s a lot of people, but always space available.
If you like to swim, you have to walk out 40-50 m because the depth increases slowly. If you like to know you have firm ground under your feet, you can take a bath worry-free.
My recommendation is walking along the water edge, maybe in ankle-deep water, listening to the waves, the birds, looking at Montgó or Cullera mountains in the horizon, and being conscious that this moment is part of the good life.
