Mascarat Beach, located at C. Rda. del Atardecer, 3, 03590, Alicante, Spain, is a picturesque cove known for its clear, turquoise waters and rocky landscape. The beach is not extensive, but its natural charm is enhanced by the surrounding mountains that almost touch the shoreline. This rocky beach is particularly appealing for snorkeling and diving, as the underwater environment is rich with marine life, including posidonia meadows that attract various fish species. Visitors often recommend bringing water shoes for comfort on the stony shore, as the beach is primarily composed of larger pebbles.
The atmosphere at Mascarat Beach tends to be tranquil, making it an ideal spot for those looking to unwind. While the beach does attract a fair number of visitors, it maintains a laid-back vibe, with a designated naturist area at one end. Facilities include a beach bar where refreshments can be enjoyed in the shade, as well as public restrooms. During the summer months, lifeguards are present, and beachgoers have the option to rent sun loungers and umbrellas. Parking is available in a spacious area behind the beach, which is a notable convenience given the difficulty of finding parking at other nearby coves.
For those interested in exploring beyond the beach, the nearby Campomanes port offers opportunities for water sports and dining at various restaurants and cafes. Additionally, a short trek around the point of Mascarat leads to a more secluded cove, often less crowded and equally stunning, though access can be a bit challenging. The combination of the beach's natural beauty and the surrounding amenities makes Mascarat Beach a noteworthy destination for relaxation and aquatic activities.

One of the most beautiful places in Spain. The contrast of sea and mountains creates breathtaking landscapes combines with clear blue and orange skies.

The coastal area is a delight for the senses, undoubtedly the best coast in the world with its coves, crystal-clear waters, and marine life. It is advisable to explore it by kayak or rent a small boat. You can do this year-round, but it's clear that you can only swim in spring and summer; the sun remains the same.

The truth is that the beach isn't very appealing and is quite crowded with camper vans, some of which stay overnight. If there's a storm, the water gets very murky. There's a tolerated nudist area.

A nice swimming beach if you have feet protection for rocks. Very accessible. Here you can see 60+ year old naturists from NL doing exercises and also special postures to allow maximum sun exposure to the undercarriage. No accompanying photos provided. Nearby cove- photo provided, more private and better snorkeling.

This beach is really peaceful with gentle waves, making it perfect for snorkeling. The shore isn't sandy, but once you're in the water, it is. Setting up an umbrella can be quite challenging.

Nature never ceases to surprise us with its gifts... this time, it's a beach with turquoise waters! There's a beach bar where you can grab whatever you fancy, restrooms, and a spacious parking area, which is a real blessing since finding parking in the other nearby coves can be quite a challenge. The stones are large, but wearing water shoes is more of a must than just a suggestion ;), and the swimming experience is really pleasant. On the day we visited, the water was a bit choppy, but there are days when it looks like a swimming pool—albeit a dream pool, thanks to the stunning color of the water.

A beautiful cove with pebbles and gravel, featuring clean and crystal-clear waters, perfect for snorkeling or even scuba diving, as it is a rocky area with posidonia meadows where fish abound. It’s not a particularly large beach, but it is very peaceful and has a charming natural landscape. The mountains almost touch the beach, and there is a rocky wall that extends into the sea. However, the presence of so many apartments so close to this beach can be a bit disruptive. At the back, there is a large area of land where parking is allowed. At one end of the beach, there are often naturists, so it’s not unusual to see naked people sunbathing or swimming. Above all, respect for others is essential. At one end, next to a rocky area, there is a great beach bar where you can eat or have a beer in the shade. In the summer, there is a lifeguard service, and you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas. The port of Campomanes is very close by, where you can practice water sports. In the port, there are also several restaurants and cafés. Very close to this beach, just on the other side of the Punta del Mascarat, passing through the residential areas behind, you can reach a small cove with transparent water where there are usually few people, as access is somewhat complicated. It is advisable to bring water shoes and snorkeling goggles.

Free public, rocky beach in a lagoon. Chill atmosphere. Recommend bringing goggles for snorkeling. Water shallow enough for children. There's a restaurant as well. No public facilities.

Beautiful hidden beach. A nice spot for snorkeling, with decent public toilets. There are 2 beach bars where to have a drink. The downside is that it's not a sand beach but stones, so bring your flip-flops!
