Dénia’s 20 kilometres of beaches will offer more amenities

Along its roughly 20 km of coastline, Dénia City Council wants to offer a full range of services on the beaches. The contract to add six new rental stations for hammocks, shade, pedal boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards has just gone out to bid. Furthermore, a second contract that was just put out to bid by the council also calls for installing bathrooms on the beaches, with more to be added this season.

As stated by Councillor for Beaches Pepe Doménech, the goal of the beach services tender is to cover the areas of the coast that were left without beach services (shade, water sports, and hammocks) last summer because the city council’s subsequent tender was either abandoned or the companies that applied failed to meet the minimum score.

Since most of the beach service jobs that the Dénia City Council put out in 2024 were not awarded, interested businesses are now able to submit bids for them. In particular, the following:

Playa de les Deveses

Shade stand and hammock. situated close to Calle Riu Grande (Restaurante Almar).

Playa de les Bovetes
shade stand and hammock. In the vicinity of l’Assagador del Palmar.
CAP stand, paddleboarding, canoeing/kayaking, and roller skating. In the vicinity of Pasarell Street.

Playa de les Marines
shade stand and hammock. Located on Calle Esparver Street
shade stand and hammock. Located atop Sant Pere’s Assagador.
a swimming pool, paddleboarding, canoes and kayaks, and pedal boats. Located on Calle Boga

Only three beach service lots were awarded in the previous year’s tender, which also included the beach bars: the aquatic platform at Punta del Raset, the Raset paddle and kayak stand, and the hammock stand in front of the Los Ángeles Hotel.

The new tender is expected to cost 58,500 euros in total this summer.

Additional toilets

On the other hand, the council has put out a second contract for the installation of beachside restrooms. The service will be provided between June 1st and October 12th under this contract, which is valued €34,000—12 more days than the previous year.

Two additional toilets have also been added, one in Les Deveses and another near the end of Calle Les Rotes, which is adjacent to Playa Les Arenetes.
