Torre Derribada

Torre Derribada is a wide, sandy beach area inside the Regional Park of Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar, described as having crystal-clear water and a big launch footprint. The nearshore is very shallow, with conditions that can transition from shallow to deeper water as you move out, and the water is described as providing chop and small-wave conditions. Wind is most reliable from spring into summer, with a thermal afternoon pattern. A typical active window is described as roughly 14:00 to 19:00, and summer thermal winds (including SW Lebeche boosting in the afternoon) are associated with strong session days. Wind direction cues for the spot include NE/E and also SW/SE, with Levante (NE) described as the cleanest direction for waves. For kitesurfing, the spot is described as a popular Mediterranean alternative with small waves and chop, and it favors freeride and wave/foil styles. Recommended kite sizes are given as 9–14 m², and the shared skill guidance points to intermediate riding. In summer (June to September), kitesurfing is restricted to a specifically designated and marked zone to protect swimmers and the natural park environment, so plan to use only the allowed area. Safety focus for Torre Derribada includes the mole/jetty at the southern end near the harbor and the presence of swimmers during summer months. Sources also emphasize respecting the dunes and using wooden walkways on the approach from parking to the shore. Seasonal lifeguard presence is indicated, while rescue availability is described as limited in the wider region; emergency guidance is to use 112.
