About

Check out this spot in Altea. Popular location for scuba diving and sailing. Altea is a picturesque coastal town located in the province of Alicante, in the Valencian Community of Spain. It is beautifully nestled around a hill that descends to the inviting waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The town has an attractive historic old town, which is known for its cobbled streets, white-washed houses, and blue domed church. Altea is surrounded by lush green mountains full of pine trees and orange groves, which provide a dramatic backdrop to the turquoise sea that laps against the shoreline. The beaches in Altea are sandy and pebbly and lovely to walk along, with gorgeous panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding cliffs. The town is perfect for those looking for a peaceful holiday destination, whether it's for sunbathing, sightseeing, or exploring nearby villages. The area is also famous for its gastronomy, such as paella and fresh seafood dishes.

Frequently asked questions

Is this beach safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.

What should I know before swimming here?

Check tide times before entering. Incoming tides can cut off escape routes. Watch for rip currents, especially near groynes and headlands. Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing. Always swim with others or tell someone your plan. A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users. Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.
