Dehesa de Campoamor: Beaches, Pine Groves and Coastal Paths

Dehesa de Campoamor combines coastal experiences with green landscapes and opportunities for walks. There are three beaches along the coast, and the CN Campoamor Sailing School offers sailing courses. When planning a stay, you can first consider whether beach time, nature or a course on the water will shape your itinerary.

The beaches of Dehesa de Campoamor

The coast has three beaches: Aguamarina, also known as La Regia, La Glea and Barranco Rubio. Playa Aguamarina is a natural beach with several coves. Snorkelling is common there—a useful indication for anyone interested in the underwater world.

Playa de la Glea also has a feature worth considering when planning: it is fully adapted. This includes convenient access, a shaded area for people with disabilities and supervised bathing with an amphibious chair. These details can help you distinguish between the beach options based on your interests and needs. Aguamarina and La Glea are not the only names along the coast: Barranco Rubio is also one of the three designated beaches.

Pine groves, river and walks

The landscape includes the pine groves of Dehesa de Campoamor, which are considered particularly noteworthy green spaces on the coast of Orihuela. The Río Nacimiento also flows from the Sierra de Escalona and through the natural surroundings of Dehesa de Campoamor. The river is 15.2 kilometres long. The pine groves and river offer a different perspective on the area than the beaches: if you want to include nature as well as the sea in your travel plans, you will find specific landscape features to explore here.

A small bridge near Playa de la Glea leads to a Mediterranean woodland area that is suitable for walks. This offers another way to complement a day at the beach: a walk in the woodland is a separate way to experience the surroundings. If you want to add variety to your days, beach activities and a walk can provide different focal points without requiring a fixed itinerary.

Sailing on a fixed schedule

The CN Campoamor Sailing School offers weekly courses in July and August, Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 14:00. This fixed time slot is especially relevant when planning a trip if you intend to include a sailing course in your stay. Check the timetable in advance if you want to plan your days around it.

The beach, a walk and a sailing course each offer a different way to spend time in Dehesa de Campoamor. Let the experiences you want to include in your trip guide your search for a hotel.
