Its high occupancy rate is due to the prestige of being considered one of the cleanest beaches in the area and the multitude of services offered. Equipped with an excellent equipment, it has the Certification “Q” of Tourism Quality.
Just as the Sirena loca beach, its origin is associated with the construction of the Port of Adra in 1911. The current situation emerged in the late 1940s when the port of Adra was blocked as a result of the drag of sand along the coast to reach the Poniente breakwater, where it continued his progress and was deposited at the seabed. As a solution to the problem, a 'breakwater in T " was constructed to retain the sand, enabling the formation of the old Poniente Beach in the early 1950s. There are services of drinking water supply, sanitation and street lighting as well as litter bins and showers.
This beach is located between the Levante breakwater of the Port of Adra and the seawall which separates it from the Censo beach. With a length of 550 metres and a width of 40 metres, its integration into the urban core involves an attractive use for neighbors and makes the visit enjoyable given the small displacement they have to perform. It takes its name from the ancient factory "Ingenio de San Nicolás" (closed in 1897), where sugar was obtained from the sweet cane, and which was located in the nearshore zone.
The promenade that runs parallel to this beach is a pedestrian area that enables the access to the entire front of it. With the urban development, the area has become the preferred place to stroll and enjoy leisure activities. The Adra City Council has scared no efforts to guarantee high quality services, an effort which was rewarded with the obtainment of a Blue Flag and the Q for Tourism Quality in 2009.
