Overview

Punta de Los Molinos is the only north-facing beach in the entire Comunitat Valenciana, making it absolutely unique. While every other spot on this coast faces east or southeast, Molins faces north — catching W, NW and N winds that are offshore everywhere else. This is THE winter spot of the Dénia/Oliva area (November-March). Terral winds 25-40 knots funnel down from the mountains. Also works NE in spring/summer (when not prohibited). Located on the Las Marinas road near Dénia port. Perfect complement to Les Deveses: Deveses = summer, Molins = winter.
