Playa de la Concha or La Concha Beach is a beautiful white sandy crescent-shaped beach that fringes the Bay of La Concha. Hailed as one of the best beaches in Europe, Playa de la Concha, also known as ‘cone shell beach,’ is lined with a promenade and elegant 19th-century seaside resorts with a vibrant, buzzing atmosphere in the summer, drawing a mixed crowd of locals and visitors alike. Declared ‘the summer capital of Europe’ by Queen Regent Maria Cristina, the stunning beach offers safe swimming and is full of bronzed bodies in the warmer months.
