Salinas de Torrevieja Pink Salt Lake

A Famous Pink Salt Lagoon

The Salinas de Torrevieja is one of Spain's most renowned natural salt lakes, a vast brine lagoon whose rose-coloured waters draw visitors from across the Costa Blanca. The live webcam captures the lagoon's expansive surface stretching toward a backdrop of low coastal hills.

Salt of the Land

For centuries this lagoon has been a working salt-extraction site, where evaporation concentrates the brine into harvestable salt. The broad shallows and salt-crusted banks are a defining feature of this singular southern landscape.

A Protected Wetland

The lagoon lies at the heart of the Natural Park of La Mata and Torrevieja, a protected wetland spanning more than 3,700 hectares. Its saline shallows host an exceptional community of waterbirds, including the flamingos for which the park is celebrated.

Set on the southern edge of the province of Alicante, the salinas are an unmissable stop for travellers exploring Torrevieja and its coast. Watch this tranquil wetland unfold in real time from anywhere in the world.
