Los Locos: more beach space while staying close to the city.
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.
When to choose Los Locos
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.
Sand and rock
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.
Services
Listed services include toilets, foot showers, lifeguards, parking, walkways, food options, a chiringuito, sunbed and parasol areas, plus a children's play area.
Accessibility and comparison
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.
