Venta Lanuza - all beaches

A cynic's dream come true - an uncrowded beach, a few restaurants - what more could you want? All in all, it's alright - but nothing special.

That place is a stunningly tranquil bay with crystal clear waters. It's a mix of mostly rocks and some sand, and best of all, it's free to access for the public.

Stunning. Be aware of the strong waves when it's windy. It's ideal for surfing if you're feeling adventurous.

This beach in Villajoyosa is undoubtedly the most stunning pebble beach. It's surprising to see that not many people come here despite its incredible beauty. The water is crystal clear and blue, completely free from any algae or litter. You might want to bring some booties, but apart from that, this beach is perfect. Additionally, the Paradis tram station is conveniently located nearby, making it a great escape from the overcrowded beaches of Benidorm and Villajoyosa.

This place is an ideal spot for nudists - it was blissfully quiet when I visited on 28th and 29th October. The snorkeling to the left was great, with a shelf and small inlet to explore. You can also circumnavigate the rocks to get to a larger beach. Parking is easy, both on the road and down the hill. The stones make the water crystal clear, and I spotted octopuses and plenty of fish. Highly recommended!

This spot , located between Campello and Villajoyosa, used to be a tranquil spot, but now it's become way too crowded. Every year, the beach is replenished with fresh sand which can be quite thick and sticky. It's still a great place for families with kids since it's small enough to keep track of them. There's also a chiringuito where they serve food and drinks until late, and they even have live music on some days. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach, but it's worth visiting the chiringuito for a drink at night, especially on nights with a full moon.
