Travel 15-20 minutes further along and you'll come to the popular resort of Cullera. Set against a beautiful mountain backdrop, it boasts a choice of five EU blue flag beaches. If you're prepared to venture a little further, you have Gandia, Oliva and finally the pretty port of Denia, which at 1.5 hours drive, is still viable as a day trip.
To the north of La Malvarossa is Playa Pucol. This attractive little town has very good sandy beaches, yet is still within 20-25 minutes direct drive of the city.
