Altea sandy beach

If you are wondering about or looking for information on a sandy beach in AlteaThe reason for this is that you know its beaches well, as most, if not all of them, are pebble beaches (known in the area as "cinques").

The fact that the beach is made of stones has many advantages, but it is true that many do not like having to wear booties and have to be careful and prefer the comfort of the sand to be able to lie comfortably on the towel.

Playa de la Roda and Cap Blanc beach, a sandy beach in Altea?

sandy beach Altea, cap blanc (1)

This one has mostly pebbles. White pebbles, that's how it is. But you won't find them everywhere. There is a small corner where you can find enough metres to find the right stones. throw in the towel and to be able to be at ease or for the children to play.

If you walk along the promenade, you will see that there are plenty of hollows without stones. It is also a perfect beach, as its waters are usually clean and there are many services around.

A great plan for your holiday here?
Go to the Altea part of the Mascarat, go to the port of Porto Senso, rent a kayak, visit and enjoy the island of Altea. Then go for lunch at the promenade of Altea where you can find the Playa de la Roda. After lunch it is very likely that you will still have some space on the sandy areas. And if you still have enough energy in the evening... take a shower and have dinner in the old town.




The same happens with "Cap Blanc", another "sandy" beach in Altea. And we put it in inverted commas because it is the same as the Roda beach. It is a beach of round pebbles, yes. This cannot be avoided. But you can also find areas where there are no stones and you can enjoy the comfort of throwing in the towel and not having stones crawling on your back.

Here you can also enjoy some of the beach bars in the area. If you walk to the right (facing the sea), you will arrive at l'Albir, where you can eat in some very cool places.

The advantages of Altea's beaches not being 100% sandy

If you can't stand a non-sand beach, we won't convince you that these are your favourites. But we would like to explain the advantages that we find to a beach that is not 100% sandy.

  • If it's windy, it won't ruin your beach day.
  • The sunshade can be anchored and reinforced with stones.
  • Don't fill your backpack and towel with sand
  • You can leave the beach and go to lunch without having to shower.
  • With a good pair of booties you can enjoy the beaches of Altea as if you were on a beach in Benidorm but without so many people next to you.
  • Therefore, less crowded and quieter.

The "pro" team rocky beaches and the "pro" team sandy beaches of Altea

The world is divided into two groups, those who love rocky beaches in Altea and those who love sandy beaches in Altea. The bad thing is that the latter is not the case 100%, and this we cannot change.

Either way, we recommend that you always wear good river sandals or booties.
