For too long all the news around Les Deveses have been negative. It has been a sad time, since it was the beach from which many residents of Dénia used to get their chests. Sand, the most natural. Quiet and with the water less opaque than its neighbors. And for water sports, it is a paradise, being one of the best on the Mediterranean coast for windsurfing or kitesurfing. But the storms arrived. And Gloria arrived.
It was already showing signs of decline. The retreat of the beach could be seen with the naked eye and there were areas where two lines of towels could no longer fit. But the storms of 2019 and 2020, culminating with what we baptized as Gloria, left Les Deveses totally dying.
Luckily, the regeneration work soon began, which cost him his Blue flag. But the result can already be seen. The machines have left the beach and the prestigious flag is flying again.
The regenerated Deveses
The new beach of Les Deveses is still the one that filled us with pride, with its natural dunes and remnants of the history of our coast, such as the machine gun batteries. But now it's more, in every way. To start with the obvious: there is much more sand. The coast has a width of more than 30 meters in some areas. Only a few sections of Bovetes y Punta del Raset can be compared to its magnitude.
But now it is also more and better monitored. More beaches welcome more people, which requires more eyes. That is why, starting this year, Les Deveses will have one more surveillance chair. Specifically, it will be located at the height of Riu Grande Street. And, in addition, the beach will have a grateful public bathroom adapted for the use of bathers.
A complete urban aberration!!
Those fenced houses that don't let you go to the beach, the most!
Are the entrances on the sides of the properties, or do you expect to go through walls?
We hope it lasts a long time, we also hope that the public bathroom is in good condition and is maintained during the summer, cleaned, and that the footbaths at the different entrances to the beach also work.
To see what lasts !
It looks fantastic!
So it is a pleasure to pay taxes. They have left a magnificent beach.
