Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Platja Mar Xica (Castello Castellon) 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 Platja Mar Xica (Castello Castellon) 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 Platja Mar Xica 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.

I love a beach that's serene and tranquil, and this one fits the bill perfectly. It's not too busy, making it ideal for sunbathing or taking leisurely strolls in the wintertime.

This beach is great if you don't want to take sand home with you, as it is made of stone. However, it is advisable to wear shoes as the surface can be quite rough. Additionally, parents should take extra care with small children as the terrain can be quite abrupt.

4 Frustrating

Bathing is quite challenging due to the lack of sand and the presence of stones. Furthermore, the open nature of the beach causes strong waves and undertow, making it difficult to swim. On the other hand, it is an ideal spot for sunbathing, as there are few people and no one to disturb you.

The beach is stunning, yet it's heartbreaking to witness the amount of plastic and other debris scattered around.
