Beach at a glance
What it is like
Cala Avellan is a very small rocky cove, barely 30 metres long and 3 metres wide, situated on an urban frontage. The recorded occupancy is low and the waves may be moderate or strong. Although the listing indicates access by boat, it also records parking for fewer than 50 vehicles and an urban bus near the La Manga motorway. Hazard signage, lifeguard services and first aid provide the practical facilities at this site, which has no beach amenities.
