Guide
Good to know
Visit for clear water and views
The pebble beach keeps water exceptionally transparent and offers views of Altea's historic center on nearby hills.
Bring water shoes
The beach is pebbled and rocky with some sharp stones, making barefoot wading uncomfortable or painful.
Check for jellyfish in summer
Large jellyfish have been washed ashore, particularly in warm months, discouraging swimmers.
Arrive early to avoid crowds
One visitor found the beach very crowded at 10am during what appeared to be a peak season morning.
