关于

快速信息: Stretching nearly a kilometer along Altea's coastline, this pebble beach is backed by a striking promenade of black-and-white patterned tiles. Its unusual mix of smooth grey stones and crystal-clear waters makes the Mediterranean feel extra turquoise here, especially on sunny afternoons.

亮点: On summer evenings, locals gather on the pebbles with towels and wine as the sun melts behind the Sierra Bernia mountains, creating a communal sunset ritual that's been happening for decades. The sound of the sea washing over the round stones makes a distinctive rolling clatter you won't hear on sandy beaches, like nature's own percussion.

内部小贴士

Wear water shoes or sandals with thick soles, as the pebbles can be uncomfortable to walk on barefoot, especially getting in and out of the water.
Head to the far eastern end near the yacht club for quieter swimming spots, as most people cluster near the central access points.
Bring a small inflatable mattress or padded mat instead of a thin towel for comfort on the stones.
Photograph the beach from the promenade's patterned tiles at golden hour for reflections that make the water look electric blue.
