Bored of the same old plans?
It’s summer, the sun is blazing, and you… are sitting on a terrace, sweating while drinking something that, in theory, should be cold but feels more like soup.
Then, you look around and see the same as always—traffic, buildings, and zero ocean views. “Is this really the best plan I can have in Valencia?” you wonder while imagining yourself somewhere much better.
Now, change the scene. You feel the sand beneath your feet, the sound of waves blending with the rhythm of a live DJ, and the refreshing taste of a freshly made mojito in your hand.
Around you, people dancing barefoot, laughter, golden sunsets, and that unmistakable sea breeze that only Valencia can offer. This isn’t a dream—it’s the real experience of beach bars with music, where every day turns into an impromptu festival or a laid-back afternoon with friends watching the sun go down.
In other words, if you love discovering places with soul, where good vibes meet music and cocktails that taste like summer, this article is for you.
When Do the Beach Bars Open in Valencia?
If you’re already dreaming of sunset mojitos, toes in the sand, and live music by the Mediterranean, it’s clear—you need a beach bar in your life.
And in Valencia, they’re not just places to grab a drink; they’re true temples of good vibes, relaxation, and fun.
But when exactly can you enjoy these little oases? Well, it depends, but we’ve got all the details here so summer doesn’t catch you without a plan.
Official Season: Spring to Autumn
Most beach bars open between late April and early May, just as the sun starts heating up and the craving for outdoor drinks kicks in.
That said, not all of them open at the same time, as the city council grants licenses with specific dates that vary depending on location.
But generally, by May, they’re up and running, and by June, the party is in full swing along the entire Valencian coast.
In fact, the high season lasts until late September or even mid-October, depending on the weather (and in Valencia, the sun is in no rush to leave).
What If I want a beach bar before summer?
Some beach bars with more permanent structures, like those at La Marina de Valencia, are open all year round, though in a more relaxed mode during the colder months. If you’re looking for a chill plan with ocean views, this is your spot.
Meanwhile, on beaches like Malvarrosa, Patacona, and Pinedo, some start setting up as early as April, so if you’re lucky, you might be sipping cocktails with your feet in the sand sooner than expected.
When does the real party start?
If you’re all about sunset DJ sessions, beach concerts, and dancing under the stars, June, July, and August are your golden months. This is when beach bars are at their peak, with daily music programs and guaranteed party vibes.
Quick recap for the eager ones:
- Late April – May: Beach bars start opening gradually.
- June – August: High season: music, parties, and lots of atmosphere.
- September – October: Still open, but more relaxed.
- Rest of the year: Some in La Marina and specific areas remain open.
Beach Bars with Live Music in Valencia
If you thought the city was just about paella and picture-perfect beaches, get ready, because here, beach bars are not just simple bars—they’re true temples where the sound of the waves blends with flamenco, reggae, electronic beats, or the best live indie music.
Can you ask for more? Yes, because in Valencia, the beach party doesn’t follow a schedule.
Calipso Xiringuito: music and beach
If you’re in Valencia or planning a getaway, there’s one spot you can’t leave off your radar: Calipso Xiringuito, located on Almardà Beach in Sagunto.
It’s not just a beach bar; it’s a true sanctuary of the “slow beach life,” where time seems to pause between the sand, the sea, and rhythms that make you want to move.
Here, you’ll find pure relaxation, but don’t be mistaken—rest goes hand in hand with the best live music and an atmosphere that invites you to let go.
From breakfast to the last drink of the night, this place has it all: great food, ice creams to cool off, and of course, a drink menu that mixes timeless classics with creative surprises.
But what truly sets it apart is the music. Live concerts almost every day, DJ sets ranging from rock and jazz to reggae and punk, and an energy that captivates you from the moment you step onto the sand.
The best part? Here, party and environmental awareness go hand in hand. Respect for nature is key: no littering on the beach and a reusable cup policy to avoid single-use plastics.
Open until 1 AM, it’s the perfect place to watch the sunset with a beer in hand, dance to the rhythm of the live band, and laugh without a care at one of Valencia’s best beaches.
La Calita: the place where summer never ends
This isn’t just any crowded beach packed with umbrellas and noise—far from it. This little gem is on Playa del Dosel in Cullera, one of the last beaches that still preserves its wild essence, with natural dunes and a relaxed atmosphere that makes you feel like the Mediterranean belongs just to you.
What makes La Calita special isn’t just its privileged location, but its endless summer philosophy. Open every day from morning till night, this isn’t just a place to sunbathe and cool off with an incredible cocktail—it’s a whole world of experiences:
- Live music that turns every afternoon into a mini-festival.
- Comedy shows that will have you laughing until your stomach hurts.
- Eco-friendly workshops, because taking care of the planet can be fun too.
- Shaded areas, sun loungers, and the perfect atmosphere to unwind (or reconnect with the good life).
And of course, we can’t forget their cocktails. If you’re a mojito fan, get ready for one of the best you’ll ever taste. Their secret? Premium brands, brown sugar, and the freshest mint, picked the very same day.
Xiringuito Las Fuentes: the secret spot with music
If you love discovering places with soul, far from the tourist crowds and full of authentic charm, add this name to your list.
Located in Alcossebre, just a stone’s throw from the stunning Sierra de Irta and the iconic Peñíscola, it sits right on Playa de Las Fuentes, a unique beach where the sea meets fresh water springs beneath the sand.
This isn’t a flashy beach bar with magazine-style décor. Instead, it’s the kind of timeless spot where you feel at home from the very first moment.
And here’s the best part—on summer weekends, live music takes over, turning this hidden gem into the perfect place for those who enjoy good vibes without the pretension.
What’s on the menu? Simple but well-made classics: burgers, hot dogs, patatas bravas, and calamari with that unmistakable Mediterranean flavor. But if you’re in the mood for something special, ask about the Vinaroz prawns—if they have them, you’re in for a treat.
But this place isn’t just about grabbing a bite or a cold beer with your feet in the sand. You can also rent bikes, paddleboards, or sun loungers to make the most of your day.
And if you have little ones with you, there are trampolines and an inflatable castle to keep them entertained while you sip on your mojito.
Open every day from 10 AM to 2 AM, this place keeps summer alive until the end of October, so the good times last longer than usual.
Mumbai Beach Club: the hottest spot in El Perelló you can’t miss
Located on El Perelló Beach, just 20 minutes from the city, this beach bar has become the go-to place for those looking for live music, an incredible atmosphere, and unforgettable sunsets.
It’s not just a beach bar where you grab a beer and go. Here, the experience is a perfect mix of good vibes, live shows, and nights that start with a drink and end with dancing under the stars.

And if you think Sundays are boring, you’ll change your mind here—Sunday is the highlight of the week, with live music taking center stage.
When to go?
The good news is that it’s open every day, so there’s no excuse not to check it out.
However, keep in mind that it only stays open until September 16, so make the most of it before the season ends.
Solé Rototom: where reggae, the beach, and good vibes come together
This isn’t just any beach bar. Here, reggae isn’t just background music—it’s the heart and soul of the place. From the moment you step onto the sand, the atmosphere wraps you in a feeling of peace, community, and celebration.
And the best part? You don’t have to wait until August to experience it, because at Solé, the party lasts all season long.
From morning until late at night, this place is a hotspot for those who love unique experiences. You can start your day with a yoga session by the sea, get your adrenaline pumping with aerial silk acrobatics, or simply relax with an organic smoothie before an evening concert.
If you’re looking for action, get ready for beach volleyball tournaments, open-water swimming challenges, and creative workshops that take you around the world without leaving the coast.
But if you’re expecting the usual fried food and pre-packaged snacks, you’re in for a surprise.
The menu is crafted with a love for real food—fresh ingredients, international flavors, and produce straight from their own garden. From vegan burgers to crepes, hummus, guacamole, and globally inspired dishes, everything is homemade, organic, and delicious.
Another big plus? Sustainability is not just a trend here—it’s a real commitment. Cups are reusable, straws are compostable, and every year, they organize beach cleanups and environmental activities to protect the coastline.
So, if you want to enjoy this paradise, take note—it’s open every day from 10 AM to 3 AM. And when summer starts to say goodbye, this place keeps the spirit alive just a little longer.

But the real magic happens on Saturdays, when the sand turns into a dance floor with underground electronic music sessions.
