Why visit Alcossebre

Alcossebre has stayed low-rise where much of the coast built high. Its sandy beaches and rocky coves are calm and family-friendly, and just to the south begins the Serra d’Irta natural park, a rare stretch of undeveloped, protected coast. A relaxed base for people who want the beach without the high-rises.
