Playa de Torrenueva

Playa de Torrenueva is a beach located in La Línea de la Concepción, northeast of Gibraltar. It features a long stretch of white sand and is situated near the historical remains of the Torrenueva watchtower. Visitors go here for seaside recreation and to view the coastal fortifications.

Getting There

The beach is accessible from the city centre of La Línea de la Concepción via local roads or public transport. The journey typically takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on the mode of transport and traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Depending on the activity, visitors generally spend between 2 and 5 hours at the beach. This allows time for swimming, walking along the shoreline, and visiting the nearby watchtower ruins.
