Racó del Conill, Naturist beach in La Vila Joiosa, Spain.
Racó del Conill is a cove about 160 meters long with a mix of pebbles and sand, split into two sections by a rock that juts into the water. The bay is small and sheltered, with water that changes color depending on the light and depth.
This cove developed into a naturist beach starting in the 1970s and has remained one of the primary locations for this purpose in the Marina Baixa region. The long-standing use has given it an established role along the coast.
The beach sits near Torre del Aguiló, a watchtower built in the 1500s to protect the coast from pirates. This proximity to an old defensive structure shapes how visitors experience the shoreline and connects the place to its seafaring past.
The beach is about 3 kilometers from La Vila Joiosa town center and has parking available nearby. From there, you need to walk a fair distance to reach the shore, so comfortable shoes are a good idea.
The cove has served as a filming location for several productions, including Jean-Jacques Annaud's "His Majesty Minor" (2007), "Asterix at the Olympic Games" (2008), and episodes of the British series "Benidorm". A small monument stands on the viewpoint above the beach in honour of Antonio Torralbo, who cleaned and cared for the cove for decades and was named Naturist of the Year 2020 by the Spanish Naturist Federation.
