Altea stretches along the emblematic Costa Blanca, offering a unique coastal diversity where imposing cliffs and extensive stretches of flat land beach are intertwined. From the imposing Punta del Mascarat (or Morro de Toix) to the harbour breakwater, the city is home to a wide variety of beaches ideal for water activities: swimming, diving, fishing or sailing, among many others.
Altea's special link with the Mediterranean is reflected in its more than 6 kilometres of coastline, where emblematic beaches such as L'Olla, Solsida, Cap Negret, Mascarat, El Bol and La Roda merge with majestic cliffs over the sea, impregnating the town with charm, light and vitality.
It should be noted that the beaches of Altea are composed of pebbles instead of sand, which offers unique advantages: the absence of overcrowding, the possibility of enjoying games and activities in a quieter environment and the experience of a preserved natural environment, ideal for families and visitors looking for a relaxed and different day.
In Altea, each beach has its own character: from sands formed by fine grains of gravel to those with imposing large rocks. During the high season, most of them have full services, such as sun loungers, umbrellas and lifeguards, guaranteeing the comfort of visitors. However, you will also discover natural beaches, more remote and small, ideal for disconnecting in an intimate and serene atmosphere.
In addition, Altea offers several options where naturists can enjoy a feeling of total freedom. By choosing accommodation in this charming destination, you will have the advantage of having the coast just a few steps away, allowing you to explore its cobbled streets and live every moment of Altea with intensity and authenticity.
In 2016, the Altea City Council approved the initiative to allow swimming with dogs on L'Olla beach, favoring those travelers who do not want to leave their pets behind during the holidays. Of course, some basic rules must be respected: pick up excrement and, in the case of potentially dangerous dogs, wear a muzzle.
Altea is distinguished by offering quality tourism, without overcrowding and committed to the environment. This vision extends along its beaches, the promenade, its picturesque streets, and is reflected in the offer of local hotels and restaurants.
The charm of Altea and its beaches is so special that every year, numerous couples choose this Mediterranean paradise as the setting for their weddings, celebrating love with the eternal sea as a witness.
