Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Cap Negret runs for 1,470 metres north of Altea along a shore of boulders and gravel. The urban stretch, with medium occupancy, ends at the small black-stone cove called Cala del Soyo, a feature that explains its identity within this coastline. The urban frontage and moderate wave conditions complete its character. It is easily reached on foot or by car from the N-332, with an urban bus service, catering, showers and hire of sun loungers and parasols.
