Granadella beach, Rock beach at Mediterranean coast in Xàbia, Spain.
The beach stretches for 160 meters along the coastline, featuring a natural composition of pebbles and rocks alongside clear Mediterranean waters.
The beach area contains remnants of an 18th-century coastal defense structure, with stone walls that protected against maritime attacks.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices at this cove, using small boats to catch fish in the early morning hours.
During summer months, the beach provides rental services for umbrellas, sunbeds, and water sports equipment, with lifeguards on duty.
The underwater rock formations around Granadella create natural habitats for Mediterranean fish species, making it a prime location for diving.

A selection of Spanish beaches with white sand, turquoise water, and natural rock formations. From the coves of Balearic Islands to the Atlantic shores of Cantabria, this list contains information about locations, characteristics, and local features.
Spain has more than 8,000 kilometers of coastlines home to hundreds of beaches with diverse characteristics. The Mediterranean, Atlantic, Balearic Islands, and Canary Islands feature contrasting marine scenery: coves sheltered between cliffs, extensive sandy areas, urban beaches, and protected natural zones. Each coastal region has developed its own identity influenced by local geology and climate. The Balearic Islands include bays like Cala Macarella in Menorca or Ses Illetes in Formentera, where white sand contrasts with clear Mediterranean waters. The Canary Islands display volcanic landscapes, with the Maspalomas dunes on Gran Canaria stretching over 6 kilometers, or Lanzarote’s red cliffs framing Playa del Papagayo. Along the Andalusian coast, the Cabo de Gata Natural Park houses Mónsul Beach with its black volcanic formations, while Bolonia near Tarifa features a 4-kilometer-long beach with Roman remains. The northern coast presents a different scene: La Concha urban beach in San Sebastián forms a 1.5-kilometer arc, the limestone cliffs of Asturias protect Playa del Silencio, and the Cíes Islands in Galicia are part of a marine national park.
