If there is a perfect way to enjoy the coast of Castellón, it is on two wheels. The cycling route that connects Playa del Pinar with Benicàssim is one of the most beautiful and accessible in the province, a route that allows you to pedal with the sea breeze in your face, enjoying spectacular views of the Mediterranean while you enter some of the most iconic landscapes of the area. With a completely flat route, it is ideal for both experienced cyclists and those looking for a relaxed ride without haste, enjoying the environment at their own pace.
The route starts at Playa del Pinar, next to Grao de Castellón, a perfect starting point thanks to its wide bike path area and its proximity to parks, recreational areas and the beach itself. From here, the road continues parallel to the sea, offering spectacular scenery at all times. Moving forward, the route will take you along the Gurugú Beach, a stretch where the promenade is enlivened by the presence of beach bars, sports areas and the possibility of taking a break to have a drink with your feet in the sand.
As you continue pedaling north, the landscape gradually transforms, leaving the urban areas behind to enter a more natural environment. The route passes through Serradal Beach, a protected area with dunes and native vegetation where it is common to see seabirds. This section of the route is especially quiet and perfect for those seeking a more intimate connection with nature while pedaling.
The final destination is Benicàssim, a town with a unique coastal charm, famous for its beaches, promenade and lively atmosphere. Here you can explore the old town, discover the Route of the Villas, enjoy a meal on a terrace overlooking the sea or, if you still have energy, continue the adventure to the Desierto de las Palmas, a natural area with more demanding mountain routes.
A route for all levels
One of the main attractions of this cycling route is its accessibility. Being a completely flat and paved road, it is perfect for both amateur cyclists and families with children who want to enjoy a smooth ride. It is also an ideal option for those who prefer to ride on roller skates, skateboards or even electric bicycles, enjoying the experience effortlessly.
For those looking for something more intense, this route can also be extended. From Benicàssim, there are connections to trails of greater difficulty, including routes that climb the nearby mountains or continue to Oropesa del Mar along the Via Verde del Mar, a spectacular route between cliffs that crosses old railway tunnels.
Rest points and services for cyclists
Along the route, there are several resting points with benches, fountains and viewpoints where you can stop to recharge your batteries and enjoy the scenery. It is also possible to find workshops and specialized stores in Castellón and Benicàssim for any maintenance or bicycle rental needs.
In the area of Grao de Castellón and the promenade of Benicàssim there are several beach bars and cafes where you can take a break and recover energy before continuing with the route. Many of them are adapted for cyclists, with spaces to leave your bike safely while you enjoy a refreshing drink or a meal in front of the sea.
The best base point for motorhomers on wheels
If you travel by motorhome, this route is a must. Our motorhome area, strategically located near the Gurugú Beach, is the perfect starting point to pedal without worrying about parking or traffic. Here you can settle in with all the comforts, from electrical connection to rest areas, and go out to tour the coast on two wheels with no other worries than enjoying the road.
For motorhomers who love cycling, this is a unique opportunity to combine the freedom of travel with the comfort of an environment that offers beaches, sport and nature in a single destination. Because if moving around in a motorhome is already a way of life, doing it with a bike on board opens up even more possibilities to explore and discover the most beautiful corners of the coast of Castellón.
So if you like pedaling with a view of the sea, this tour is for you. Prepare your bike, adjust your helmet and enjoy the Mediterranean by pedal stroke.
