16,995-acre Costa Norte De València. South Spain coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Spanish hydrographic and research-survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Spanish WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Spanish Mediterranean Coast. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 193 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Costa Norte De València - South draws 16,990 acres inside 25.6 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 3% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 8.8 mi with a 6.9-mi widest point. The nearest mapped water is Puerto De Gandia - Cabo De San Antonio - North West, 35 mi to the south.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

In spring, european seabass run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 30 ft before dropping to 10 to 55 ft for winter. Fall european seabass concentrate at Shoreline point, a good-rated point around 19 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Early season gilthead seabream use the shallows, holding in 3 to 35 ft. Summer is a 2 to 45 ft game here, winter a 20 to 100 ft one. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Spring puts common dentex in skinny water — 20 to 130 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 30 to 180 ft, wintering in 45 to 193 ft. Summer common dentex concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 142 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

When the water first warms, red mullet slide up into 5 to 55 ft. Summer is a 4 to 70 ft game here, winter a 30 to 140 ft one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 15 ft of water and rates good come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

In spring, atlantic bonito run shallow here, mostly 15 to 100 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 90 ft, and they winter in 44 to 193 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 191 ft, rated prime for winter atlantic bonito. Time it for early morning and the evening.

MITECO 2025 national bathing-water census and coastal-domain review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Spain waters are set by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing) — and special regulations can apply to Costa Norte De València - South specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Spain's live national, autonomous-community, EU and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Licences for shore, boat and underwater fishing, PescaREC registration or reporting, protected-species authorizations, minimum sizes, quotas, closures, gear limits and marine-reserve permits can differ between exterior and interior waters and can change during the season. Recreational fishing is allowed only in specified zones of some reserves and is commonly subject to a special authorization. A WFD boundary, source-audited contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-water record is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching, port access or safe navigation permission.

Costa Norte De València - South is about 193 ft (59 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Spain national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, bluefish, greater amberjack, common sole roster for Costa Norte De València - South. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 142 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Costa Norte De València - South is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing).
