Cala del Portixol

Located between Cap Prim and Cap Negre, this 900-meter pebble beach forms a shell-shaped bay surrounded by steep cliffs and clear waters.

Ancient Roman coins discovered in the waters near Cala del Portixol indicate maritime trade activities along this section of the Mediterranean coast.

Traditional white and blue fishermen houses, known as barracas, line the shoreline, representing the local maritime heritage of the Alicante region.

Visitors should arrive before 9 AM during summer months to secure parking spaces, as the beach area has limited capacity and restricted access.

The small Island of Portixol creates natural protection from waves, forming calm waters suitable for observing marine life such as octopuses and urchins.
