Cala de Punta del Riu Sec, Rocky beach in El Campello, Spain.
Cala de Punta del Riu Sec is a pebble beach on the Mediterranean coast of El Campello, stretching about 250 meters and bordered by rocks. The water is clear with moderate waves, and the shore consists of natural stones and gravel.
The area has historical ties to shipbuilding, as the first shipyard of El Campello was built here at the end of the 19th century. This early industrial background shaped the development of the coastal town.
The name references the dry riverbed that runs behind it and shapes the local landscape. Local residents use this beach regularly for everyday activities and gather here for walks and swimming.
The beach is accessible year-round and works well for walks and swimming at any time of day. Those bringing dogs will find this spot has special provisions, as it is designated specifically for this activity.
In 2013, this beach became the first officially designated dog-friendly site in Alicante Province and maintains this status today. This makes it a special choice for travelers with pets along the Mediterranean coast.
