Did you know this beach?
Let your opinion.
I think the 2 public toilet facilities leave a lot to be desired (that is when they are open which seems to be only the summer months). They are rarely cleaned to an acceptable standard and they far from compliment Torrevieja’s tourist industry. Abominable. Please get them upgraded quickly.
