Through this live webcam, you’ll be able to observe Los Locos Beach with its fine golden sand and calm waters, stretching 760 meters long and 25 meters wide.
The beach got its name from a psychiatric residence that existed in the early 20th century, where now stands a huge building that characterizes this beach.
Playa de los Locos (formerly known as Playa del Salaret), but few know the origin of this unique name.
In the early 20th century, a family from Madrid, but of Murcian origin, opened the psychiatric institution “Sanatorio del Carmen” near Playa del Salaret. Its owner, Mariano Ruiz Canovas, spent long summer seasons in Torrevieja with his family, visiting the psychiatric center known as the “madhouse.”
It is even said that sometimes some patients were allowed to go to the beach for refreshment, which made the institution very popular.
