La Zenia: a beach day with options

Use La Zenia as a starting point for a coastal day, with Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada among the beach names to look up. Keep a shopping visit to Zenia Boulevard as a separate choice in your plan.

Start with the beach entrance

Choose the beach before saving your route. Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada are separate places; check access and parking for the one you mean. The route from a parking space matters when carrying bags or travelling with a pushchair.

Make shopping optional

If you want to visit Zenia Boulevard, check its own current directory and opening information before setting off. Allow for a separate journey rather than assuming that beach access and shopping access are the same. A short beach day can be enough on its own.

Where you stay changes the day

A rental described as being in La Zenia may be on a different side of the main roads from your chosen beach. Check the exact address if walking is important. Our apartment is inland in San Miguel, so plan your La Zenia visit with transport.
