Fantastic experience: Beach with a lot of charm and plenty of parking available.
Positive experience: far away from the center. beach local totally overpriced. return trip not so great as no taxi or bus available on holidays.
Positive experience: View of the dunes. Inaccessible by bike. Dogs are not allowed.
Fantastic experience: The beach is exceptional, but you have to walk from the parking lot along a wooden walkway that becomes a bit heavy in the full sun. Then there is a nudist area that, if you're not careful, you might end up there with the kids, which is a bit unpleasant. Aside from these two points, the beach is very beautiful, with a lifeguard, very spacious, and with fine sand; it honestly looks like a paradise.
Fantastic experience: Calm waters, warm, clean sand, access ♿

Fantastic experience: Same beach as Los Arenales del Sol. Good sand and not overcrowded with people.

Fantastic experience: superb, with great water and sand
Fantastic experience: A week in July staying nearby, being able to walk there. The beach is not crowded during the week, which makes it easier to swim, play in the sand, sunbathe, and there's a beach bar very close. It's a good beach with fine sand, there can be remnants of shells on the shore that can be bothersome for entering and exiting but once inside, it's very nice. It doesn't cover well for a good stretch, there aren't many waves on a green flag day. The sand doesn't stick to the skin and is easy to wash off with water, but since it's so fine, more tends to accumulate in the swimsuit, be careful when you take it off at home hehehe. The walkway to the beach is quite long but very well conditioned and easy to walk through with space for passing in both directions.

Fantastic experience: The only thing that is unnecessary is the beach bar that thinks even the sea water belongs to it.
Fantastic experience: Nice and lovely restaurant at the beach
Fantastic experience: A beach with very clear water, difficult to park and you have to be careful with the beach bar you access due to the price difference, the one at entrance 1 could well be in the Salamanca neighborhood in Madrid because of the prices.

Fantastic experience: It is one of the best beaches on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The best services and all the safety for an excellent beach experience. In my opinion, tourists should pay for the use of this natural wonder. In other countries, it is like that. Here it is free. If you go to this beach, please leave it cleaner than you found it. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Increíble playa de la costa de Alicante, impresiona el agua tan limpia y clara que tiene. Las mejores horas son temprano, luego hay restos de la gente , y se nota que no está tan clara. Tiene los servicios básicos de socorrista y lava pies. Gracias a la protección de la reserva marina de Tabarca hay mucho pez que se te acerca. Lo dicho, está costa es sencillamente impresionante
Negative experience: Edito: 14/07/2020. En la situación en la que nos encontramos es absurdo, lamentable e inmoral. Llegas a las 10:00 te pones en un sitio. A las 11:40 llega gente con su familia, luego los amigos, luego los vecinos y por último se encuentran con unos amigos de sus hijos. Todos juntos, en comandita a menos de 1 metro de donde te has puesto con tu familia tranquilamente. Luego nos lamentamos, luego vienen los llantos y sollozos. ¿Dónde está la policía? ¿La seguridad de la playa? Playa con bandera azul, una de las playas más limpias de la zona del Levante. Tiene zona nudista y no nudista.
Fantastic experience: LOCATION stupenda al margine di una zona di dune dì sabbia protetta da reti dall'invasione dell'uomo. Il panorama però è deturpato dai palazzoni sulle colline. SERVIZI: parcheggi gratuiti, lungo e comodo pontile in legno di accesso ialla spiaggia libera. A un certo punto il pontile si biforca. A destra conduce alla zona appartata per i nudisti. Poco lontano sulla sinistra c'è una casetta in legno. È il bagno pubblico, ben tenuto e pulito. Ombrelloni e lettini a partire da 5 euro ciascuno. Letto balinese a 35 euro, bagno gratuito per tutti, doccette per i piedi. Chiosco con panini insalate birra e sangria. Bagnino e bandiera per indicare pericolosità nel fare il bagno. QUALITÀ: acqua trasparente e pulita, grandi spazi GIUDIZIO: ECCELLENTE

Fantastic experience: Fantaschtisch lekker strand. Niet te druk en je kunt er strandbedjes ed huren. Ook voor kids water speeltoestellen, waterfietsen. Voor volwassenen surfplanken, kano verhuur en nog meer.
Fantastic experience: Es una zona de gran valor ecológico debido a la combinación de dunas altas, dunas fósiles y pinares. Continuación de Los Arenales del Sol, la playa de El Alted y la playa de Urbanova, se acaba al sur con un litoral rocoso, ya en el término municipal de Santa Pola; constituye un espacio natural virgen. El estado habitual de la mar es oleaje moderado. La arena es muy concurrida por nudistas y no nudistas que buscan tranquilidad junto al mar, con una cercana vista a la isla de Tabarca. La playa está galardonada con bandera azul. Cuenta con servicios como hamacas, chiringuito, lavapiés, baños, vigilancia marítima y la posibilidad de realizar windsurf y otros deportes náuticos en un espacio habilitado para ello.

Fantastic experience: Es enorme, no por ancho sino por largo, eterna. Arena fina. Sin edificios cerca lo que hace que la experiencia sea mejor, pero que haya que desplazarse andando un poquito para llegar hasta la playa. Hay pasarelas para llegar hasta la playa. Por norma general el mediterráneo suele estar un poco más alegre en esta zona, lo que lo hace más divertido.
Fantastic experience: Nunca habia ido a esa parte de la playa pero me gustó mucho. El agua está muy limpia y pasamos ahí una tarde muy divertida.
Fantastic experience: Playa muy larga, zonas naturales , hay un Bar muy chulo con servicio de alquiler tumbonas. El viento hace unas olas muy divertidas para los niños... Cuidado con el "agua fría" si vienes acostumbrado a las.playas del norte ( Atlántico - Cantábrico) juas juas
Positive experience: Grande, aunque irregular en lo limpio de las aguas, a menudo hay algas y suciedad marina diversa. La temperatura es la habitual en el litoral levantino. Arena fina y bien atendida por los socorristas. Chiringuitos escasos, apenas se puede elegir. Actividades acuáticas con personal amable, los niños parecían muy contentos.

Fantastic experience: Very good beach
Fantastic experience: Calm waters, warm, clean sand, access ♿
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with plenty of parking spaces if you arrive on time. Good walkway built to reach the beach from the parking lot. The beach itself is pleasantly busy with enough facilities. Renting beach loungers is expensive at €12.50 per person. The rental man was unfriendly, getting angry because we moved the loungers a bit to lie in the sun.
Fantastic experience: No buildings... a luxury
Fantastic experience: Best beach ever
Fantastic experience: It's wonderful, idyllic. The downside is that there are a lot of people in July and August.
Fantastic experience: A beach with very clear water, difficult to park and you have to be careful with the beach bar you access due to the price difference, the one at entrance 1 could well be in the Salamanca neighborhood in Madrid because of the prices.
Positive experience: Very beautiful and clean beach, a great place for snorkeling.

Fantastic experience: beautiful place. I recommend it
Positive experience: Nice beach, too many people. Big waves for those who like to swim in the sea.
Fantastic experience: Easy to reach by car and bus. Free parking, a short walk to the beach. Fine sand, areas where you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds, beach bars scattered along the promenade for dining options. It is very large, so it hardly feels crowded.
Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach, clean and warm water. The beach bar is very expensive, 2 waters 1.5lt and 1 coffee - €11.50.
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal beach, the best in the area hands down!!!
Fantastic experience: A great beach in a native setting of the area, an unbeatable place.
Fantastic experience: Great beach, good atmosphere, clean water, services, beach bar
Positive experience: Beautiful beach, far from the urban developments, but very crowded on weekends
Fantastic experience: My favorite beach on the Costa Blanca, beautiful and quiet, it's easy to get a front row spot. Update: it was quiet but it is becoming overcrowded.
Positive experience: A well-maintained beach with all the services indicated on the website (access, restrooms, foot showers, beach bar). A bit narrow for my liking and quite crowded. The parking is free, the areas are well signposted, but the nudist area is not respected due to the high influx.
Fantastic experience: A beach very connected to nature, located 500 meters from the sandy areas; if you are looking to connect with nature, it is the best place in the area. Negative aspects: you have to take a walk to get to the beach, as could be expected, and the downside is the public restrooms. In this same beach, there is an artificial loggerhead turtle nest.
Fantastic experience: Delicious beach
Positive experience: Fantastic beach. Long, several km. Good with sun loungers, umbrellas at the beach bars that serve drinks, simple dishes, ice cream.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, very clean water, the only downside was buying a hamburger and 2 Coca Colas for €31, which is absurd.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Alicante, without a doubt.
Fantastic experience: Calm, family-friendly. And now with a beach bar and not just drinks and ice creams.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful less crowded beach. Recommended
Fantastic experience: Great place to visit, or to live there! Absolutely beautiful
Negative experience: Very beautiful beach, spectacular, but here it says nudist beach...?? I think it's wrong that people do not respect nudist beaches, there are more people in clothes than nude.
Fantastic experience: It's beautiful, it's a lovely walk. Great for going with kids and enjoying as a family.
Fantastic experience: It's one of the best beaches in Alicante, its sea has crystal clear waters, our family loves it.
Fantastic experience: It is an excellent beach, although each year there is less beach due to the rising sea level. It is shocking that in the 'Arenales del Sol' there are buildings next to the sand that take away more than 3 hours of sunlight each day, causing shade in the afternoon for beachgoers.
Fantastic experience: A good place to enjoy the sea
Negative experience: Much better the next beach, the Monkey Blue bar with terrace and much cheaper. The umbrellas with sun loungers are a third of the price they are at this Carabassi beach. No comparison.
Positive experience: Very clean beach. It takes about 10 minutes to get from the parking to the beach via the walkway. With a beach bar and showers.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful large sandy beach with plenty of room for swimming. The beach bar is highly recommended; they have very delicious food, but the prices for the sunbeds and the food are a bit high.
Fantastic experience: Very very very amazing awesome fabulous fantastic excellent wonderful and extraordinary totally, the best of the best of the best super super super incredibly incredibly incredibly
Positive experience: One of the best beaches on the Alicante coast
Fantastic experience: Quiet and very beautiful beach. Nudist area.
Fantastic experience: It is one of the best beaches on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The best services and all the safety for an excellent beach experience.

Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful and peaceful beach.
Fantastic experience: beach with clean sand, I have come 3 times and it is not as crowded as other beaches and the kids have a great time.
Fantastic experience: Pleasant, wide, sandy beach. The descent to the water is also sandy. I didn't notice any showers there, but there were taps with fresh water (not for drinking) for rinsing feet and hands. Deeper inland, you can hide among the vegetation.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach at this time of year. Dogs are allowed to be there.
Fantastic experience: Amazing water. Great for children to swim.

Fantastic experience: Clean beach, sea is fine.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, a bit crowded. Looking at the sea to the right, at the end, there's a nice naturist area.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful stay with some nature.
Fantastic experience: An exceptional beach...with dunes, green areas, all with fine sand and 1 km long that connects to Urbanova beach, ideal for walkers..the worst, the prices at the beach bar at the first entrance...don't buy anything...a natural juice, a cookie ice cream, and 1 draft beer cost €14.50...the juice was labeled natural but they gave it to us from a bottle and it was one of the worst, €5...a shame...long live the cooler, the chair and the umbrella...
Positive experience: Great beach lovely bar and tapas
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, clean water, great access and easy parking
Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach ️ pure sand, had a great weekend there..
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches ever visited
Fantastic experience: Great dandy beach. Loads of sunbeds and umbrellas to hire, some include lockers for valuables. Can be very busy as it's really popular. There's people that do massages, prebooking advisable on busy weeks. There's a bar with seating. Parking is a bit if a walk but there is a wooden walk way down to the sand so you don't burn your feet on the VERY hot sand. Footwear advisable. Seas very clean. Kids loved swimming.
Fantastic experience: Enormous sandy beach gently shelved. A tourist attraction.
Fantastic experience: This is a great beach, good for family and children, yeah the sunloungers etc are a bit expensive but still a good day out and with a bar thats has cheap drinks and food. Heaven.
Positive experience: Great sandy beach with beachside food/bar shack.
Positive experience: Very Nice beach. Just tragic that people dont clean up after themselves.
Fantastic experience: Love this beach really good in summer when the beach bar is open
Fantastic experience: Nice beach, nice people work there at Blue Monkey club: drinks and really nice massage at the beach. Spent there my holidays two times
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. Sun loungers etc are very expensive, didn't bother. Bar reasonable for beach bar. Wasn't expecting 2 men at different times to stroll along the beach with nothing on but didn't bother us. May shock some. Fish swimming around feet in the water. Took some bread in and fed a few including a larger one which appeared from nowhere. Great for kids as water is shallow and clear as it goes out.
Fantastic experience: Nice and clean beach. Try Piña Colada at the local bar.
Fantastic experience: Good beach to go with family .. hard to find parking..
Fantastic experience: Clean beach, safe waters, good for adults and children
