Levante Beach
Who doesn’t know the Levante beach with its blue flag? Probably, if we go to a village of 100 inhabitants in the Alps and show a photo of the Levante beach to any of its inhabitants, they will recognize it at first sight. It is an urban beach of fine sand and crystal-clear waters, surrounded by imposing buildings where there are services such as deckchair hire, footbaths, walkways, swings and children’s games, beach library…
It is the most popular with visitors because of its characteristic bustling promenade and the wide range of waterfront restaurants and bars. You will meet people of all nationalities.
