Beaches

Definitely you cannot miss Santa Pola beaches.

Two main beaches in Santa Pola are Playa de Levante and Gran Playa, which are lovely sandy beaches.

Actually all the beaches in Santa Pola are sandy beaches, having Blue Flag granted by the European Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and ADEAC, based in the Quality of water, services, compliance with environmental legislation, cleaning and security-related services for users.

The Salt Museum

The Salt Museum is located in a former salt factory within the Nature Reserve. As well as learning about the salt extraction process and its history, this museum gives a lot of useful information on the Nature Reserve, from where a route can be followed to observe Flamingos, Marbled Teals, Common Shelducks, Little Egrets, Caspian Gulls, Black-winged Stilts…
This beautiful Nature Reserve, protected since 1988 and recognized as a “Special Important Birds Area”, has been included in the list of “North African and European Humid Areas”. Stretching over 2,496 hectares, this wetland managed to survive thanks to the setting up of salt flats at the end of the last century.

Salt extraction is the main economic activity in this area and, to a great extent, makes up the current ecosystem. The salt flats work this way: seawater flows into a circuit of ponds to get a gradual salt concentration as a consequence of evaporation. Mediterranean salt flats are of great biological interest owing to the fact that water flow doesn’t stop in winter. The ponds remain flooded all year through, so the ecosystem stays unaffected. Birds feed on fishes and invertebrates that go into the salt flats while salt production benefits from mineral richness brought by the birds’ excrements.

Birdwatching

Santa Pola is a paradise for bird watchers, particularly the Santa Pola salt flats.

These internationally renowned wetlands and SPA area are part of the El Hondo and Torrevieja–La Mata triangular marsh, one of the Iberian Peninsula’s top birdwatching spots.

The diversity, number of birds and the beauty of the Santa Pola Salt Flats make this area a magnet for bird lovers. Its many residents and visitors include flamingos and avocets, and birds in danger of extinction such as the white-headed duck or the marbled duck, make the Salinas de Santa Pola a twitchers’ paradise.

Santa Pola Aquarium

Santa Pola aquarium is the oldest in the Valencian Community, and it includes 9 large glass tanks containing flora and fauna from the Mediterranean Sea.

Its facilities are dedicated to showing part of the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean Sea, being in this way an important educational and recreational tool which introduces our closest maritime surroundings (the bay of Santa Pola and the Island of Tabarca). The water comes directly from the sea, and after processing it is brought to the aquarium.

The idea of keeping fish in captivity isancient. In Rome, Greece and above all in the Orient some species were kept in costal rocks, in ponds, lagoons or at the entrance of seas for leisure purposes or as food reserves.

Most of the species which the aquarium keeps were donated by the sailors of Santa Pola
