The breakwater

A harbour protection structure that extends into the sea, with a beacon or small lighthouse at its tip. It's a common walk for those fishing from the pier and those looking for views of the harbour and city from the water.

[TO BE VERIFIED: length of the breakwater, whether access to the beacon is free or restricted, and whether sport fishing is allowed]

Monument to the Sailor's Wife

Also known as La Bella Lola II, this sculpture on the Dique de Levante itself represents the woman who waits, in a different location from the "original" Bella Lola on Paseo Juan Aparicio. Two versions of the same theme, on two different promenades in the same city. → Paseo Juan Aparicio

[TO BE VERIFIED: chronology — which of the two sculptures came first, and whether "II" means replica, evolution or independent piece]

Views

From the breakwater you can see the marina, Torrevieja's seafront and, on clear days, much of the coast.

[TO BE VERIFIED whether it's also a good sunset spot]
