Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa Carritxal (Alacant Alicante) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa Carritxal (Alacant Alicante) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa Carritxal for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This place is a dream come true - a stunning view, pebbly, rocky beach and crystal clear waters teeming with fish. It's a bit of a challenge to get into the water, but once you're five metres from the shore, it's worth it. The only downside is the size of the vehicles - the bridge you have to cross is high (more than three metres), but the width isn't too crazy. I drove my J5 motorhome and Iveco 35-8 over it and it was worth the effort. Definitely worth a stop!

This spot has an unconventional entrance, but the atmosphere is rather uninspiring. Access to the water can be tricky, however the beach is spotless. If you're into fishing, this is the perfect spot for you.

Playa Carritxal is a hidden gem, tucked away 25m from the sea. There are no services here, but the journey is worth it for the peace and tranquility that awaits. The access road is a bit bumpy, but it's still worth the effort to experience the serenity of this special spot.

The beach can be tricky to get to, not kept up well, and could be hazardous for automobiles and other modes of transportation.

8 Very good

This location is tucked away, and getting there is a bit of a challenge. You have to stop your vehicle and cross the road to pass through a tunnel, which may be too narrow for some vehicles. But the effort is worth it - it's a really beautiful spot! The water is a bit choppy, but it's an ideal place to take a leisurely stroll and spend the day.
