Very close to the town center is the Marjal, an underground wetland with small lakes on the surface known as ullals and are a source of surface water, very similar to those found in various places in the Valencian Community, for example in Swedish near La Albufera.

The Marjal of Peñíscola is a wetland of underground water that flows through small lakes known as Ullals, the overflow of which floods the lowlands and creates a marshland. To facilitate the drainage of the water into the sea, artificial channels have been created that meet on the south beach of Peñíscola.
