Beach at a glance
What it is like
Cala de la Barra Grande is Altea's last beach within the coastal complex formed by the punta del Mascarat and the sierra de Bernia. Its 50 metres of length and 7 metres of width bring together pebbles and rock on an urban frontage with restrictions, low occupancy and moderate waves. Access on foot from the N-332 is difficult, with an interurban bus stop 800 metres away. The listing identifies it as naturist and records an anchorage area.
