Praia of Meliana

The beach at Meliana, just north of Valencia, has long been listed in Spanish guides as one of the Valencia area's outdoor cruising spots. It appears here for that history, not as a recommendation. Spain is one of the most LGBTQ-friendly countries in the world and public nudity is not a crime, but sex in a public place can be fined under municipal ordinances and robberies of people at known spots are common. GayOut does not publish meeting points, times or directions for outdoor spots. The safer ways to meet men in Meliana are the bars, saunas and cruising clubs listed on this page, and the apps. Go with the same caution you would use in any park at night: tell someone where you are, keep your phone charged and valuables at home, and leave the way you came.
