If you’re planning to come on vacation to Alcossebre and wondering which spots are worth exploring beyond the most well-known beaches, we have a recommendation that shouldn’t be missing from your list: Cala Blanca. It’s a small natural paradise, tranquil and with that wild air that only the most unspoiled coves preserve.
It’s a perfect beach for taking a dip, disconnecting, or simply enjoying the surrounding nature. Are you up for discovering it? Here we’ll tell you how to get there, what to bring, what to do, and why it’s so worthwhile.
Discover What Cala Blanca in Alcossebre Is Like
Cala Blanca is a small cove, formed by fine sand mixed with pebbles; and although its appearance is rustic, it is well-maintained and very clean, especially its water: crystal clear and transparent.
Here you can swim calmly, and it’s common to see small fish swimming between your feet, making it an ideal place for snorkeling or diving.
Although it’s a cove, it has areas with sand and others with rocks, so it suits different preferences. On the sides, you can find small caves where you can shelter from the sun and stay cooler, and also some shade in areas with vegetation and rocks.
Oh! And just before going down to the cove, there’s a viewpoint with benches from which you can contemplate beautiful views. There are also tables surrounded by trees, ideal for having a picnic or eating peacefully outdoors.
How to Get to Cala Blanca from Alcossebre?
Despite being an unspoiled beach, getting to Cala Blanca is easier than it seems. From the center of Alcossebre, you can go by road to the access where there is a small parking area for about 30 cars, more or less.
Once there, the path to the cove is comfortable, well-signposted, and has sections with wooden walkways and stairs that make it accessible, although not for everyone; it’s a beach not recommended for people with reduced mobility.
The place is perfectly integrated into the environment of the Serra d’Irta Natural Park, so if you feel like walking, you can extend your day by exploring several of the trails that start from Cala Blanca in Alcossebre.
If you follow the coastal route, in addition to enjoying spectacular views, you’ll reach the Alcossebre Lighthouse and, a bit further, another incredible cove: Cala Mundina, ideal if you want to explore another beach or if you’re looking for a deeper spot to practice snorkeling.
You Won't Run Out of Activities in Cala Blanca
The essence of Cala Blanca is enjoying the sea and the tranquility of the surroundings. The basics here are swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, or simply relaxing with a book. The little ones can spend time looking for shells among the rocks or splashing at the shore.
And if you’re up for it, at night it’s a spectacular place to see the stars; there’s no light pollution, and the absolute silence will make you connect with the environment in a magical way.
The Gastronomy of Cala Blanca in Alcossebre Doesn't Disappoint Either
Cala Blanca doesn’t have a lifeguard, showers, or any type of flag, and that’s precisely part of its charm: it’s an unspoiled, quiet beach without frills. So, you’ll need to remember to bring water, food, and everything necessary to spend the day, morning, or afternoon. And, of course, collect all your waste before leaving: it’s a natural environment that needs to be taken care of.
Near Cala Blanca there’s a restaurant: Ca Primento, a brasserie–pizzeria where you can stop for lunch or dinner. But if you want more dining options, you only need to walk about 15 minutes or drive 5 minutes towards Alcossebre.
There, options await you like La Villa, a restaurant that works with local ingredients and specializes in rice dishes. There’s also the Taberna Pikaporte, ideal for enjoying creative tapas, good rice dishes, and desserts that won’t disappoint. And if you’re looking for something more traditional and relaxed, Bar Casa Juan is perfect for a snack, a well-made paella, or a good octopus dish, which is always appealing.
In summary, although Cala Blanca is synonymous with nature, you won’t lack good dining options nearby, whether with sea views or on a charming terrace in the heart of Alcossebre.
