El Playazo

El Playazo is a large sandy beach located in Vera, Spain, stretching over 2 kilometers in length and approximately 120 meters in width. It is internationally recognized as the first naturist enclave in Europe and is known for its expansive size which offers the opportunity for long walks. The beach is part of a protected area with a moderate swell in the sea, a characteristic that can make for exciting beach days when the wind picks up. However, visitors are advised to be mindful of weather conditions as the waves can become too large for a quiet bath. In addition to its natural beauty and tranquility, the beach is well-equipped with amenities for tourists. These include restrooms, showers, lifeguard services, and facilities for recreational activities such as goals and volleyball fields. There are also beach bars located near the entrance, although they are not the primary attraction of this beach. Signage indicating the state of the sea, informative posters displaying the beach's services, and water analysis reports are available for visitors, ensuring a comfortable and informed visit. El Playazo is easily accessible, situated in front of hospitality establishments and just two minutes from nearby holiday apartments. There is also a seaside promenade and regular public transportation with an hourly frequency, making it convenient for visitors to get to the beach. Despite its many offerings and popularity, the beach maintains its tranquility, offering a peaceful beach experience for those who visit. The beach has earned several environmental and quality certifications, including the Blue Flag, SICTED, and ECOPLAYAS, testament to its commitment to maintaining its natural beauty and providing high-quality services to its visitors.
