Bellreguard combines a well-defined beach with a cycle path, architectural history and festival traditions. The local cuisine offers another way to get to know the area. This gives you the chance to decide which aspects you want to shape your stay.
Beach and Cycle Path
Platja de Bellreguard is 800 m long, with fine sand and clean water. Ramps and walkways provide access for people with reduced mobility. During the summer months, a bathing assistance service is also available for people who cannot swim independently. This assistance is seasonal, so if you rely on it, check the exact dates before travelling.
The cycle path follows the route of a former railway line and connects Gandia with Oliva. Along its course, it passes through the municipality of Bellreguard just a few metres from the town centre. For anyone exploring the area by bike, it offers both a local connection close to the centre and a link between two cities. The former railway line also gives the route a historical connection.
Architectural History in the Townscape
The Església de Sant Miquel was rebuilt between 1733 and 1750 in a restrained Baroque style with a Neoclassical tendency. The bell tower is 40 m high and features an additional 5 m-high carillon and a metal weather vane. Because of its design and position at the foot of the church, it is regarded as one of the most distinctive bell towers in the comarca.
Another point of cultural and historical interest is La botigueta de Bellreguard. Its façade sign was installed in 1925, when Pedro Llinares ran the shop, and was made by the JosĂ© MarĂa Verdejo ceramics factory. The ceramic panel and façade were restored in early 2021.
Festival Traditions and Dances
Bellreguard’s patron saint festivities begin towards the end of September and include activities for residents and visitors. Traditional dances include the Ball de la Forca, which dates back to 1861. A pitchfork is a central element of its choreography, alongside the traditional Valencian rural costume. The dance is traditionally performed on the eve of the feast of Sant Miquel.
The Ball de la Pandereta is another folk dance from Bellreguard. Its origins are thought to date back to around 1820, and it is especially associated with performances during the patron saint festivities in Plaça Major.
Els Pedacets is also part of local festival life. In 2026, the celebration has a strong participatory character, with residents, cultural and festival groups, and Bellreguard Town Council taking part.
A Dish from Bellreguard
Figatell is a dish typical of Bellreguard and is usually eaten as an appetiser. It consists of a mixture of liver, bacon and spices, wrapped in caul fat and grilled on a hotplate.
