Why People Choose Punta Prima
Life in Punta Prima centers on the beach. Morning swims before the crowds arrive. Afternoon lounging on sand that's quality enough to attract visitors from across the region. Sunset drinks at beachfront chiringuitos. The rhythm is simple, the rewards immediate.
The community is established and international, with the friendliness that comes from shared appreciation of location. Golf is accessible but secondary—this is beach country first. Torrevieja's shops, restaurants, and services provide everything needed without Punta Prima becoming anything but beachfront.
