Dharma Beach Club sits directly on Playa del Pinar in Grau de Castelló, opposite the Planetarium on Paseo Marítimo. Known locally as Dharma Playa, it's one of the more established spots on this stretch of coast.
It's one of the beach clubs in Grau de Castelló we cover in full, with prices and booking tips for each.
The layout goes beyond a standard chiringuito. Hanging chairs and swings face the water, and the terrace fills fast on summer evenings. Sunsets are a big draw, with cocktails flowing as the light drops over the Mediterranean.
Live music and DJ sets run through peak season, alongside dance classes and beach sports events. The crowd skews younger than most beachfront options nearby.
You can book by phone or through the website at dharmaplaya.com. The venue runs seasonally, so check ahead outside the summer months. Parking is nearby, there's free WiFi, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible.
Rated 4.2 from 1,780 Google reviews, it's a reliable pick for a full beach day with food and drink on-site.

Food & Drinks at Dharma Beach Club
The kitchen serves Mexican-Mediterranean fusion. Rice dishes and paellas are the house specialty, sitting alongside tacos, guacamole, and broader Mediterranean plates. It's a bigger menu than most chiringuitos on this beach.
Mains run €10 to €20 per person. Cocktails are the main drinks order, especially around sunset. The bar covers the basics too if you just want a beer or soft drink.
