Welcoming guests since 1986 and run by a British-Spanish family, Camping Alegria del Mar in Castellon is a friendly place with plenty of facilities to entertain guests.
The seaside park runs dance, live music and flamenco shows, as well as activities like bingo, barbecue nights and pétanque tournaments – but if you prefer to stay still and bask, the nearest beach is just 50 metres away and can be accessed directly from the site. A long stay then? Good idea.
Food is sorted at the Camping Alegria del Mar bar-restaurant and terrace, which cooks up a decent range of international foods like paellas, tapas, sandwiches, pizzas and burgers. The site is in Benicarló, within 20 minutes' walk of grocery shops and plenty of other restaurants.
If you're wondering what else there is to do in the locale aside from beaches, the Serra d'Irta Natural Park and Castell de Santa Magdalena de Polpís are only half an hour's drive away. Serra del Montsià, a mountain range with gorgeous hikes, is a 35-minute drive in the other direction.

Local attractions
After your week on the beach, browse the highly impressive architecture of Benicarló's historic quarter, about a kilometre and a half away: look out for the Baroque façade of the Parròquia Sant Bartomeu.
The town of Peñiscola, surrounded by water on every side and one of the most popular tourist resorts in Castellón, is an easy six kilometres from Camping Alegria del Mar. It's known as 'the city in the sea' and one of Spain's most beautiful towns – and did you know it was a filming location for Game of Thrones? Go.
The Knights Templar Peñiscola Castle is the main sight to see in Peñiscola; afterwards, stretch out on the sands, walk the town's cobbled streets or visit the Peñiscola Sea Museum.
