Racó del Conill en Villajoyosa
In Villajoyosa, is located what, for many, is one of the best coves on the Costa Blanca for nudism. It is not very large, and in summer it is usually very crowded, but the rest of the year it is much quieter.
Unlike other beaches and coves in the area, do not expect to find fine white sand here, because it is a cove (rather two) of stone. Of course, the views from there are spectacular, and you will find yourself in a unique natural environment.
Being a small cove, it does not have services such as showers or lifeguards, nor does it have a beach bar. However, work has been done at the municipal level on its accessibility and you have both stairs and handrails for safer and easier access. In addition, you can bring any snack you prefer, because you will find garbage cans at your disposal.
We have highlighted five, but the truth is that it is difficult to select the best beaches on the Costa Blanca, because they all have something special.
