Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach with nice waves to have fun in the water. There are many people, but even at 5 PM we found a spot for 6. There is a large free parking nearby and paid parking as well.

Positive experience: Big beach, with fine sand. We went at 10 AM and at that hour it wasn't very crowded; from 12 PM onwards, it started to fill with people. From 10 AM to 11 AM there was entertainment with music! There were quite a few seaweeds, probably because a storm is coming and the water was a bit choppy. The location is perfect! Close to beach bars, parking (orange zone and free) and beautiful views of the rock!

Fantastic experience: We have been going to this beach for years and it never disappoints. It's true that in recent years it has become more crowded, but the fine sand, the incredible color of the sea water, the boardwalk, and a parking lot nearby make it the ideal place to go. Now it is further away from where we live, but I am sure we will go this year on a weekend :)

Negative experience: Llevo veraneando en Calpe desde que tenía 8 años y después de 34 años he visto cosas que han ido a peor desgraciadamente y son las que voy a enumerar: -Calpe es poco o nada dog friendly, con solo dos parques para soltar a los perros tienes que ir lejos para poder soltarlo. Existe una playa para perros si pero allí lejos donde no molestas a nadie , mal aparcamiento y malos accesos después de una pequeña caminata para llegar a parar a una playa de piedras. Ahora que soy padre, como demonios llegó hasta allí con mi bebé y mi perro, imposible. Debería haber horarios y zonas acotadas en playas accesibles. -Suciedad. Si, la zona de paseo y playa y zonas aledañas se esmeran en limpiarlas todos los días aunque a veces no con muy buen resultado, zonas ennegrecidas cerca de contenedores, olores , etc, y si no mirad la calle alemania, para pagar por parquímetros si pero para limpiar bien o acondicionarlo de otra manera , eso ya es otro cantar. Y si te alejas de la zona de la costa la cosa cambia a peor, jardines llenos de basura, mirad detrás del edificio etxezuri, todo ese parque hacia la fosa, e.incluso más atrás cerca de donde están edificando nuevos monstruos de hormigón. -Aparcamiento. ¿Que quieres aparcar? Paga o si no vete lejos a dejar el coche. Todo zona de pago, ninguna plaza para residencial, eso sí, el ibi religiosamente se paga todos los años. -Comodidades. Como he dicho llevo 34 años en Calpe y en los últimos 10 la cosa ha cambiado radicalmente, ese hotel ilegal, deberían derribar 11 plantas, ley de costas, cada vez más gente, peores servicios. Ya no me siento como en casa cada vez que voy a pasar unos días y me da mucha pena. Sobre las cosas buenas, pues las tiene claro , ya las sabemos, pero si las pongo en una báscula, las negativas pesan mas.

Cristina Cosmen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Es una playa familiar, con arena limpia y todos los servicios necesarios. No admite perros, es lo único que le falta.

Lucho Correia 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hermosa playa de arena fina, se pueden comprar comida y refrescos en su paseo costero. Posee servicio de guardavidas, no se admiten mascotas. Hay posibilidad de aparcar el carro libremente a 100 o 200 metros.

Beatriz Fernández Gómez 5 years ago

Positive experience: Nada de distancia de seguridad, la gente pone su sombrilla a primera hora y se va. Playa llena de algas y poca limpieza .Mucha venta ambulante, botellones permitidos y perros por la playa, poca policía y la que pasa mira hacia otro lado. No lo entiendo ..

Andrew White 3 months ago

Negative experience: Blue flag beach with crystal clear water and nice sandy beach, although the beach is becoming narrower. Unfortunately the city council are hoodwinked into believing that allowing the dead seaweed to pile up is environmentaly friendly. But not for the economy of the city which relies on tourists. It stinks and is really smelly and you have to climb mountains of it to get to the sea. The contract for sunbed management is also messed up by the incompetent City Council, so no sunbeds or umbrellas for hire. Shame because it used to be beautiful!

Positive experience: This is the other beachfront in Calpe, less crowded, where walkers find the usual restaurants, bars and souvenirs shops. Ideal for a short stroll. The beach itself is wide, it must be packed during the summer months. The beach is cleaned up every morning by the municipality technical services. There are benches along the way which allows for frequent breaks.

Fantastic experience: We went this summer in July, and it has been a great experience. We found this beach and stayed there for 5 days, we didn't want to change because we love it. The sand is fine, and we got on a water cart and were able to see helpless algae! What a wonder! The best part is that in the area you can do various activities, there are many restaurants nearby, ice cream shops, and other stores where you can buy everything related to the sea. On the last day we went, they set up a movie, we couldn't stay because we were already tired, but I thought it was a good plan. The best part was the lifeguard service, they are attentive, and they also help disabled people to enter the water. The rocky outcrop next to it has the best view. Definitely the best beach.

Positive experience: Playa ubicada al lado del pueblo. Tiene socorrista y mucho espacio así que en un sitio y en otro encuentras sitio para ponerte.

Wendy Torres 2 years ago

Positive experience: A pesar de que es una playa muy bonita, le pongo tres estrellas porque me ha parecido muy feo que a los socorristas los tengan en unas condiciones muy malas. Una sombrilla que apenas da sombra, con el calor que hace eso no les protege adecuadamente. Muy mal por parte del ayuntamiento.

Nadia 10 months ago

Negative experience: Once it was a beautiful sandy beach, clean and not crowded. Now it is a disaster. Poorly managed and poorly maintained. During peak season it is super crowded. Mountains and stretches of rotting, stinking Posidonia left there to decay. As soon as there is a bit of rough sea, to enter the water you have to swim through thick patches of dead seaweed. And the icing on the cake... from time to time it is also closed due to fecal matter.

Miriam García-Muñoz González 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Si tengo que elegir entre la playa del Arenal y la playa de la Fossa me quedo con esta última porque me parece una playa muy bonita con el peñón de fondo y este la hace distinta de las demás, agua muy transparente, limpia y muy tranquila, apenas hay olas por lo que se puede aprovechar para hacer deportes como paddle surf o kayak por ejemplo y con arena muy fina.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place. The beach buildings are nice and quite modest for that area of the east coast. However, lately, tall buildings have been appearing that could overcrowd the place. It's easy to see the posidonia meadows with plenty of fish using simple snorkeling goggles and a snorkel. Let's respect and preserve what we have because it is very beautiful.

Positive experience: Playa concurrida, cuando hay marea alta casi no hay arena para todos, pero a los lados de la playa hay unas vistas para el Snorkel estupendas, aunque no hay dichas , solo hay para los pies. Pero la playa es ideal para un día de sol y chill

Alfredo de Cea Muyo 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: La playa de la Fossa, es la Playa de Levante en Calpe, de unos 900 metros con arena fina y aguas tranquilas y en general cristalinas. Lástima que en julio y agosto se satura de bañistas, pero en junio y septiembre es un espectáculo. Aguas con buena temperatura y sin corrientes, ideal para ir con niños y para hacer snorkel en ambos extremos de la playa. Desde la zona más al sur de la playa se puede ir nadando hasta la Cala del Penyal, un paraíso de tranquilidad y aguas transparentes, ojo ir sólo con aguas muy en calma pues la Cala es muy rocosa y podría ser peligroso llegar hasta ella.

Fantastic experience: It's one of my favorite beaches, fine sand good for going with children, little current, easy access, a promenade with a wide variety of beach bars offering different types of food, bars, and shops, very broad accommodation options, in short, I really like Calpe in general, it's a great place to go with families.

Positive experience: Besonders im Sommer ein sehr gut besuchter Strand in Calpe...Allerdings wirkt er auf Fotos oft voller als er tatsächlich ist und spätestens ab etwa 15:00Uhr (Dann sind viele Spanier weg) findet man auch in der ersten Reihe immer Platz. Am Strand können Kajaks, Treetboote & Co. geliehen werden und es geht über ca. 10m recht flach ins Meer. Zu unserer Zeit waren nur an wenigen Tagen höhere Wellen, so das sich der Strand auch gut für Kinder eignet. Hinter dem Strand führt die Promenade entlang an der den ganzen Tag gegessen und geshoppt werden kann. Die Promenade führt fast bis zum Hafen von Calpe, wird aber vorher vom bekannten Felsen unterbrochen. Auf der anderen Seite befindet sich dann der Hafen und die anderen Strände von Calpe. Diese fanden wir allerdings nicht so schön, da sich hier vieles um Party und Alkohol dreht.

Fantastic experience: In 5 minutes on foot, in the field, there is a sufficient number of free parking spaces. In July/August, I always found spots on the first try! The beach is clean, there are foot showers, toilets, a medical station (until 8 PM), and at night the beach is illuminated by floodlights, so you can swim at night too. There are quite a lot of people, but they are somehow evenly distributed across the beach, there’s no feeling that someone is lying on your head. This is of course unless you have complaints about lying a meter from the sea ;) There was always space to set up a beach tent. And during the month we were here, there weren’t any strong waves. It was either calm or just a bit more than a ripple!

Negative experience: 30 years ago it was better than now. Beach with quite a bit of accumulated plastics, pieces of plastics and remains of bottle caps, plastic straws and nowadays you can see masks and butt ends still on the sand. The water is stirred up, bringing back to the beach leftover detergents, oils, and sewage from the city built along the coast. The weather is pleasant since here the coastline extends into the sea and allows breezes; for now, humans don’t influence this.

Fantastic experience: We have been going to this beach for years and it never disappoints. It's true that in recent years it has become more crowded, but the fine sand, the incredible color of the sea water, the boardwalk, and a parking lot nearby make it the ideal place to go. Now it is further away from where we live, but I am sure we will go this year on a weekend :)

Luis Antonio Lorente Galan 1 year ago

Negative experience: This year 2024, La Fosa Beach is very neglected; I estimate that the blue flag granted to the beach does not correspond to it because the services leave much to be desired; some even lack locks; none of the foot showers work, and the town hall has put up signs blaming the Valencian Generalitat; it has never had showers and on the contrary, it has all the algae it could ever need, which causes it to rot in some places and produce bad odors: I do not know who is responsible for all this, but please, I believe they need to find solutions.

Negative experience: How is it possible that La Fossa beach does not have foot showers at all its access points? The answer is simple: due to the ineptitude, at best, of the municipal authorities. Pathetic. It's unbelievable that the E.U. awards blue flags under these conditions. However, the unstoppable property tax. And the building permits for outrageous high-rise towers.

Positive experience: Busy beach with small pebbles on the shore. The Ifach rock nearby is impressive. Next to the port, you can enjoy a nice walk with sea views, but there's not much shade.

Negative experience: Disappointing how the town hall maintains the beach, dirty, without foot showers for the season we are in, lacking infrastructure and very poorly cared for. There is a big discrimination against Arenal beach, which is the urban one that is much better looked after. People complain a lot; there is much to be done.

Fantastic experience: The beach is beautiful and popular. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain and is known for its long stretch of fine sand, clear waters, and lively atmosphere. It is also known for its calm waters and gentle waves. It is a popular spot for families and swimmers. The beach is well equipped with facilities, including showers, toilets, changing rooms, shops, and beach bars. Ideal place to relax and enjoy the sun.... Top notch!!!

Fantastic experience: Super accessible for camper van users with free parking 150 m from the beach near a lake with a nature reserve. Beach with super fine sand, it's really good!!! It scratches less than the coarse sand between the toes... 800 m away, there is the start of a great hike to do on the rock with very beautiful views.

Fantastic experience: Two minute walk from our hotel, a lovely walk down towards the rock and then it continues all around to the town centre. Very clean and great to just stroll and enjoy the sunshine and views.
