Overview

Platja de la Solsida is a secluded, pebbled naturist beach located in the municipality of Altea. It consists of a series of small coves sheltered by cliffs, providing privacy and protection from the wind. The seabed is rocky and clear, making it a site primarily used for snorkeling and swimming. The beach is accessible only by walking along the coastline from nearby developments. It lacks commercial facilities, restrooms, and lifeguards, reflecting its rugged, natural state.

Insider tips

Bring sturdy water shoes, as the pebbled terrain is difficult to navigate barefoot.

Carry your own supply of fresh water and snacks, as there are no kiosks or services on the beach.

Pack snorkeling gear to take advantage of the high water visibility near the rock formations.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to access the beach by driving directly to the shoreline, as there is no parking and the path is strictly pedestrian.

Etiquette

Naturism is practiced and respected; visitors should be comfortable with nudity. Respect the natural environment and leave no trash.
