Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Mascarat (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 Cala Mascarat (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 Cala Mascarat 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.

That place may seem pleasant at first glance, but the large parking lot is often overcrowded and it can be difficult to find a spot in the shade. The views of the mountains may be nice, but the beach bar is often too busy and noisy. All in all, it's not worth the trouble.

Simply stunning, with magnificent views and a gorgeous cove to take a dip in. The beach bar offers delicious food and the staff is incredibly attentive. Plus, the beach features light pebbles, making it the perfect spot for a beach day.

8 Very good

This beach near Calp is easily accessible, with plenty of stairs leading down to it. The water is crystal clear and clean, and it's not too crowded either. Plus, there's a beach bar right on the beach, so you can grab a drink and relax. The only downside is that it's a pebble beach, so you'll want to bring some sandals or water shoes.

This wide, stoney cove is quite busy, but easily accessible with stairs leading directly to the beach. composed of light pebbles and the water is not as crystal clear as the other coves in the area due to it being more open. There is a beach bar that it is recommended to book in advance.
