Barra Grande Cove in Altea
This cove may not be so hidden, but we talk about it as a hidden cove in Alicante because it really is a cove where there is not the same density of visitors as in the rest of the beaches in the area. This cove can be seen from the road, but few people know or decide to go down to it.
The Barra Grande cove is located in the municipality of Altea, exactly at the Mascarat point, a cove of rocks and pebbles that is usually visited by nudists. Its access is not easy, in fact to get there you will have to go through the car park of the Panorama urbanisation or over the Mascarat beach bar. When you get to the cove you will see how worthwhile it was. Here we tell you more about how to get there and more information about Barra Grande Cove.
We recommend that you rent a kayak in AlteaIn Portosenso, and take a short route to the cove itself, exercise and beaching, a perfect combination.
