Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Carritxal is a long natural beach shared with the neighbouring municipality of El Campello. Its pebble and rocky shore extends for 1,890 metres, although it is only 5 metres wide, within a protected natural setting with vegetation. Occupancy is low and the listing describes the site as windy. Access on foot is difficult and there is an interurban bus route from the N-332. Its limited width and shared character are the key features distinguishing this coastal stretch.
