How to get to Playa de la Torre de Sant Vicent

Getting to Playa de la Torre de Sant Vicent in Benicàssim is surprisingly simple, making it an accessible destination for all visitors, regardless of their means of transport.

By car

If we choose the car, the connection is excellent. Benicàssim is strategically located next to the AP-7 motorway and the N-340 national road. From the AP-7, simply take the exit corresponding to Benicàssim and follow the signs that will guide you directly to the coast and, in particular, to the beach area. The signage is clear and makes orientation easy. As for parking, especially in the summer months, it is a factor to consider. There are regulated parking zones (blue zone) along the promenade and adjacent streets, as well as some paid car parks. Outside the high season, finding a spot is considerably easier and we can enjoy the peace of mind of parking nearby without major complications.

By public transport

For those who prefer public transport, there are also viable options. Intercity buses connect Benicàssim with Castellón de la Plana and other nearby municipalities, with stops located a short walk from the beach. If we are coming from further away, Benicàssim train station, which is part of the Renfe C-6 Cercanías line, leaves us in the heart of the municipality. From there, a short taxi ride, a local bus or even a pleasant walk will take us to the sand of Playa de la Torre de Sant Vicent.

On foot or by bicycle

If we are already staying in Benicàssim, access to the beach is a real pleasure. The extensive and well-maintained promenade allows us to reach it on foot or by bicycle from practically any point in the municipality. In addition, the famous Vía Verde del Litoral, which runs along the old railway line, connects Benicàssim with Oropesa del Mar, offering a spectacular route along the sea, ideal for a bike ride with panoramic views that prepare us for the beauty of the beach.

The sand and the water

One of the main attractions of Playa de la Torre de Sant Vicent is, without a doubt, its perfect combination of sand and water, elements that make it an idyllic destination for bathing and relaxation.

The sand: a golden blanket under our feet

The sand on this beach is, in a word, exquisite. We are faced with fine, golden sand that invites us to walk barefoot and feel its softness underfoot. Its texture is ideal for the little ones, who can spend hours building sandcastles and making figures without difficulty. The width of the beach means that, even on the busiest days, we don't feel crowded and can always find a comfortable space to spread out our towel and enjoy the sun. The sand is constantly cleaned, a plus point that contributes to the general feeling of well-being.

The water: a warm and transparent embrace

The waters of Playa de la Torre de Sant Vicent are a true delight. They are remarkably calm and shallow, making them exceptionally safe for children's bathing and for those who are not comfortable in deeper waters. The calmness of its waters is partly due to the configuration of the coast and the breakwaters that protect it, creating a kind of natural pool where the waves are barely noticeable. Transparency is another of its strong points; we can easily see the seabed, which adds an extra touch of confidence and enjoyment. In the summer months, the water temperature is very pleasant, inviting long swims and refreshing dips. The water quality, as we have already mentioned, is endorsed by the Blue Flag, a distinction that guarantees its purity and compliance with high environmental standards.
