Platja del Portixol

Platja del Portixol is a unique beach located in Alicante, Spain. It is known for its natural beauty and the island of Portixol that lies in front of it, providing an astonishing view over the sea and rocks. The beach is characterized by its rocky terrain and the smell of pine trees that fills the air. The beach offers a variety of water activities such as snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking. The water is clean, transparent, and wild, making it an ideal location for these activities. Visitors are advised to wear booties due to the rocky terrain and to arrive early to make the most of their day. The beach is equipped with amenities including a beach bar and a restaurant. However, it is important to note that the beach can get crowded, particularly in the summer. Parking can be a challenge during this time, with a private parking lot available that fills up quickly. As of 2023, the beach will have capacity control and a tax for entry, similar to other coves in Alicante.
