Experience this spot in Benicarló. Great location for swimming and paddling, kayaking, canoeing, supping and wind surfing. Benicarló is a village located on the Mediterranean coast in the province of Castellón in the Valencian Community in eastern Spain. It lies east of the Serra d'Irta Natural Park in a low plain bordered by the Mulets Mountains to the north and the Mediterranean to the east. The area is characterized by its beautiful beaches, the Port of Benicarló with its fishing tradition, and charming inland towns such as Vinaròs, Peniscola, and Sant Mateu. The scenery around Benicarló is a mix of rugged coastline, idyllic beaches, rocky coves, and rolling hills covered with extensive orchards, olive groves, and vineyards. The area is also known for its seafood and rice dishes, which include the famous 'Arroz a banda' and 'Fideuà.' Overall, it is an attractive destination for a relaxing vacation, surrounded by natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage.
