Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Les Rotes is not a conventional continuous sandy beach, but a 3,200-metre stretch formed by small rocky and gravel coves, including Punta Negra and el Racó del Goset. The whole area extends south of Dénia in a protected natural setting, with vegetation, a natural coastal frontage and a stone-paved promenade path running along the coast. Occupancy is medium and the waters are calm, although there is wind. Access is on foot or by car via the Dénia-Les Rotes road; parking is available in the surrounding streets and there is an urban bus service.
