Los Locos is longer than Playa del Cura but still feels urban. The mix of fine sand and an extra rocky coastal section gives it a slightly different character.
It is a good middle option if you want a city beach but Playa del Cura feels too compact. You get more length, food and services along the avenue and you remain inside the built-up part of Torrevieja.
Most of the beach is fine sand. Official information also describes an approximately 200-metre rocky section with ladders that make getting in and out of the water easier.
Listed services include toilets, foot showers, lifeguards, parking, walkways, food options, a chiringuito, sunbed and parasol areas, plus a children's play area.
An assisted bathing service is listed for summer 2026, subject to reservation and green-flag conditions. Playa del Cura is more central; La Mata is much longer and better suited to a full beach day.
For current information, we prefer official primary sources and clearly separate plans from changes that are already in place.
