• Ramps to the water's edge, since walkways cross the sand to the shore and it is the most accessible of the city beaches, with adapted toilets
• Lifeguards from June 1 to mid-September, daily 10am to 8pm in 2026, plus some weekends into early October; outside that window no one is on duty
• The reef is not a kids' swim: it sits about 200 m out at the edge of the buoyed zone, for confident adult snorkelers or a guided dive

Malvarrosa is the northern stretch of the city beach, a wide band of fine golden sand that runs into Cabanyal Beach to the south with no clear line and ends at the Alboraia border. Walkways and ramps run down to the shore.

About 200 m out, at the edge of the buoyed swimming zone, sits Spain's first artificial reef, a spot for confident adult snorkelers and divers. Water sports use a marked channel.
