Puerto Blanco Beach is a small, semi-urban beach situated beside the old Puerto Blanco marina area, southwest of Calpe town centre.
Unlike Calpe’s larger sandy beaches, Puerto Blanco has a mixture of coarse sand, pebbles and rocky areas. The beach is approximately 100 metres long and 10 metres wide, making it considerably smaller than Arenal-Bol Beach or La Fossa Beach.
Its generally calm water and more enclosed setting make it an attractive place for swimming and snorkelling. However, visitors should bring suitable footwear because the pebbles and rocks can make entering the water uncomfortable in bare feet.
