The beach is distinctive for its proximity to the Salinas de Bonmatí, an early 20th century site, and the base of the Torre Vigía el Pinet, which was historically used for communication with other towers and castles in the area. These nearby points of interest enhance the natural allure of the beach, and provide opportunities for short, picturesque walks.
