Raco Conill, Rock and nude beach in Villajoyosa, Spain.
Raco Conill is a rock beach about three kilometers from downtown Villajoyosa, roughly 160 meters long, with a pebbled shore and rocky seabed. Mountain slopes frame the cove and form natural barriers that create small bathing areas along the water.
Raco Conill lies on the Villajoyosa coast, a cove of pebbles and rock below the Serra de la Vila slopes. Its clothing-optional use was formalised in the late 20th century, when naturist bathing gained legal footing across Spain after the end of the Franco era. It is counted among the Valencia region's early officially recognised nudist beaches.
This spot draws visitors seeking freedom from standard beach conventions and a direct connection with the Mediterranean setting. The remote location allows people to experience unclothed swimming and relaxation in a way that feels natural and unrestricted.
There are no facilities at the location, so bring your own water, food, and sun protection. Access requires walking through mountain paths that need sturdy footwear and some time to navigate safely and comfortably.
The cove's name, Raco Conill, means "rabbit corner" in Valencian, a reference to the rabbits once common on these slopes. The same rock outcrops that break the wind also leave shallow pools between boulders at low tide, where small fish and crabs stay trapped until the water returns.
