A couple of days ago I wrote a post with the best beaches in Denia and today I would like to focus on the best ones in another Alicante town, specifically in Altea . It is a municipality that is also on the Mediterranean coast and has about 25,000 inhabitants, a figure that multiplies when the summer months arrive. There you will find several places of interest such as churches, a promenade or the old part of the city, but its beaches are, without a doubt, its main tourist attraction.
Altea has 6 kilometers of coastline among which several beaches of different characteristics are distributed, so take note of what are considered the best beaches in Altea :
– La Roda Beach : it is 1,400 meters long and is an urban beach with high occupancy and a promenade. It has both sand and gravel and its waters are very calm. Among its services you can find a tourist office, parking, buses, showers, walkways, hammocks, umbrellas and the Nautical Club, which is only 200 meters away.
– Cap Blanc Beach : it measures a little less than the previous one, 1,350 meters, and its occupation is also high. It also agrees that it has sand and gravel and calm waters. As for its services, you can rent nautical equipment and there are hammocks, umbrellas, showers, parking, buses, train station, walkways or telephones. It is next to the Nautical Club.
