Daimús
Daimús is an agricultural village which retains the typical features of its past, and which also has a very fine beach: Los Pedregales, with golden sands and moderate waves.
The geomorphology of the municipality is gentle. It is crossed by the Daimuz irrigation canal, whilst La Azagador irrigation canal serves as a southern border with the municipality of Guardamar de La Safor. Within its 3.10 km2, there are two clearly differentiated zones: the lowlands that make up the coastal area and the old marsh, and the area where the village is located.
