Punta Prima is limited north by "Los Naúfragos" Beach (Torrevieja) and south by "Flamenca" Beach.

Punta Prima is located near Torrevieja situated next to the sea in the south of the Valencian Community, and is surrounded by two large natural salt-water lagoons. The local beaches have earned a staggering sixty-seven European Blue Flags and they vary from secluded sandy dunes with magnificent pinewood picnic areas to long flat sandy beaches extending many kilometres. Torrevieja is an old fishing village, only minutes drive from Blue Lagoon. There is a fabulous range of facilities, including the lovely esplanade, with its outdoor cafes and harbour area - perfect for an evening stroll. It also has many shops, tapas bars and restaurants, which are open all year round plus an incredible indoor market which sells a huge variety of fresh fish, fruit and vegetables.
Local attractions: There is a market every day of the week in different places but the Playa Flamenca one on a Saturday morning is certainly one of the best and easiest to get round. It is well worth a visit. Get there early though if you dont like crowds.
Swimming and Beach: there are blue flag beaches within easy reach at Los Naufragos, Playa Flamenca & La Zenia. The beach at Punta Prima is very nice to enjoy. There are numerous restaurants catering for a wide variety of tastes - English, Spanish, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and others. A discotheque is also close by at the Torrejoven Hotel.
Golfing is very easy if you stay at Punta Prima, There are at least 5 golf courses within a few minutes drive:
Golf Club Campoamor - The layout of this course has been adapted both to the professional & the amateur. The fairways are wide & long but the greens & the inclination of the fairways are the big challenges.
Las Ramblas Golf Club - Located between two ravines on the shore of the Mediterranean, next to a luxury housing estate, this course requires the player to use great precision when hitting the ball as both fairways & greens are narrow & demanding.
Villamartin Golf Club - The variety of the 18 holes offered by this course was achieved thanks to an excellent design that gives enthusiasts the chance to enjoy using all 14 clubs from their bags. Of note are the fast greens which are always magnificently maintained.
La Marquesa Golf Club - Lying in a valley between two mountains, this course is mainly flat & offers no particular difficulties. It has wide fairways interspersed with canals, lakes & other obstacles which all players find enjoyable. It is a course that ranks as very comfortable, yet gives players a chance to use a wide variety of irons.
