Details of the product
Dénia's Punta del Raset beach is one of the busiest on the city's coastline. Its proximity to the urban area makes it one of the favorite destinations for residents to enjoy a day of sun and beach.
It is a sandy beach, like most of the beaches de Marines, which also has a special landscape and natural value due to the dunes that are generated along its coastline.
Location
El Raset is located at the beginning of the Les Marines road, so the beach can be reached by walking almost from any point in the urban area of Dénia, without requiring a vehicle to get to the place.
In case you need to go by car, there are many parking areas free parking and some paid, as we will see later in the point dedicated to Punta del Raset car parks.
Blue flag
The quality of the beach, as well as its services, means that it has been awarded the Blue flag on several occasions. In fact, it is still hoisted today, having been recognized again in 2021 with the highest distinction on European coasts.
Services
Beach Punta del Raset has access boardwalks that facilitate arrival at the shore and beach bar with sun loungers and parasols existing in the area. Being a fairly spacious beach area is not saturated excessively high season, so it is very nice place to go with children and the elderly.
Its orientation makes it protected from the Levante and Llebeig winds, which is why sailboats seek refuge from the breakwater in summer.
Lifeguard and surveillance
El Raset, as Punta del Raset beach is also known, has a surveillance service throughout the summer which is handled by Dénia Red Cross workers. The lifeguards use the three proximity chairs arranged along the beach to monitor the entire pool of water.
Red Cross post
At the Red Cross post, located in the main entrance of the beach, lifeguards attend to bathers to practice first aid, having a first aid kit inside, as well as oxygen equipment for emergencies. In addition, at the top of the post they place the flags that indicate the status of the pair and the danger posed by the bathroom.
Relief craft
Not only do they have several surveillance chairs, the care post for priests and lifeguards, but they also have a boat to facilitate and speed up interventions at greater depth, as well as to carry out a more complete surveillance from the water.
Accessible bathroom
The adapted bathroom service is also located in the same place where the Red Cross post is located. In it the loan of amphibious vehicles is carried out so that people with reduced mobility can enjoy the bath, as well as crutches adapted for use in the sand and water.
The place has a shaded space for use by service users, as well as an adapted shower, toilet and changing room.
Physiotherapy and workshops
This year they have a physiotherapist on weekends, who will attend to people with reduced mobility and users of the adapted bathroom in the same space where the rest of the service is carried out.
During the week they have a sociocultural animation technician who is also in charge of giving workshops to the users of the assisted bathroom.
Public toilets
In both chiringuitos public toilets are located. These can be used by any bather, regardless of whether they consume or not. Although they are next to the establishments, the toilets belong to the City Council.
Vora Mar cinema: cinema on the beach
Since 2012, the Vora Mar Cinema, which is the summer cinema that is held every July and August on the beach of Dénia, takes place in Punta del Raset due to the large influx of spectators.
