Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Levante Santa Bárbara is distinguished by an urban sandy beach of dark sand in surroundings marked by military history. Along its 900 metres of length and 56 metres of width are fortifications from the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, the ruins of Santa Bárbara and several bunkers built into its perimeter wall. The whole forms part of a station on the European Route of Fortifications of Forte Cultura, a distinctive feature that gives this stretch of La Línea de la Concepción its own identity.
