Castalla - all beaches

This location , tucked away between towering cliffs, is a short train ride away from Alicante, and easy to find with Google Maps. The sand is a mix of both sand and stones, so it's best to wear sandals, but it's also comfortable to go without. As the cliffs surround the beach, it gets a bit darker earlier than usual when the sun sets.

The beach, unfortunately, was quite small and overrun with seaweed during my visit in May 2022. I'm hopeful that they'll clean it up before the summer season. Additionally, there wasn't much sand to speak of. On the bright side, the water appeared to be clean.

This spot is an amazing spot - surrounded by forest and right by the shore. It's truly incredible!

I adore this beach, it's so beautiful, but it now holds a tinge of sadness for me. On August 21, 2020, I lost my wedding ring in the ocean, just off the shoreline. We searched for about an hour but couldn't locate it. I reported it to the authorities so if anyone finds it, they can get it back to me as it has a lot of sentimental meaning to me.

That place is perfect for soaking up the sun, but not ideal for a swim. The shoreline is composed of stones, making it uncomfortable to dip your toes in the water.

This secluded cove is incredibly tranquil and well-kept, and there's even a lifeguard on duty. Wearing booties is a must!
