La Zenia: Beaches, Boulevard and Cycling Route

La Zenia offers several distinct points of interest to help you plan your stay: Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada as fine-sand beaches, Zenia Boulevard with its shops and events, and a route listed in the official cycling route programme. The beaches in particular have different features: Cala Bosque is notable for its equipped accessible area and supervised bathing area, while Cala Cerrada is characterised by its sheltered coastal setting and shade in the early afternoon. At the boulevard, the focus is on shopping, leisure facilities and events; the cycling route is another option to consider when planning your trip. If you are looking for a hotel, you can start by deciding which of these aspects of La Zenia matters most for your stay.

Beaches in La Zenia

Cala Bosque: fine sand and accessible bathing area

Cala Bosque is a fine-sand beach, also known as Playa de La Zenia. Its accessible area includes adapted toilets, showers and changing rooms, an amphibious chair, a shaded area and an extra-wide central walkway for wheelchair access. There is also an accessible bathing area supervised by lifeguards. This means that when planning a beach day, you can take into account both the specific facilities and the assistance available when bathing. Check the current municipal beach information before your visit.

Cala Cerrada: cove, cliffs and sea views

Cala Cerrada is a fine-sand cove in the La Zenia urbanisation and is easily accessible from the N-332. A cliff shelters the cove, and from there you can enjoy views of the sea and the Orihuela coast. The high cliffs provide shade in the early afternoon. Compared with Cala Bosque, the features described here relate more to the coastal setting, views and timing of the shade, while Cala Bosque offers different planning considerations with its accessible bathing area. Both beaches have fine sand, but their other features differ.

Zenia Boulevard: shops and events

Zenia Boulevard is in La Zenia and has more than 160 shops. The boulevard includes streets, squares and fountains, as well as concerts and daily events. There is also a free exercise park and children's playgrounds. This makes it a place that combines shopping with leisure and events. As the retail mix and programme may change, check the operator's latest information and event dates before your visit.

Cycling and access to Cala Bosque

The official cycling route programme on the Orihuela Costa includes a route in La Zenia. Cala Bosque can be reached on foot or by bus from a town centre.
