The Levante or La Fossa Beach in Calpe

The Levante beach or the Fossa is  the most popular beach of Calpe. This is an  unusual picture of the Levante beach as it is very hard to find it so devoid people.

The Levante beach is situated north of the Rock of Ifach, (“Peñon de Ifach,”) and  has stretches along  950 meters of white sand; a delight for those who like to lie on the sand and enjoy the sun.

It is the most all-inclusive  beach of Calpe thanks to  the number of amenities it offers , among which are the easy accesses, litter bins, playground, scooters and beach umbrellas and hammocks for rent. Also, the  foot showers, bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, a sports area and lifeguards provided by  the Red Cross.

In the summer it offers an area with services to facilitate access to the bathroom for the disabled equipped with amphibious chair, bathrooms, showers and changing rooms.

This beach is always kept extremely clean, so much so, that it is hard to believe the amount of people that frequent the beach in the Summer. In recent years the Playa de Levante or  La Fossa beach has  been awarded the blue flag which it holds since 2004. It also boasts the  certification Q Quality awarded by the Spanish Tourism Quality Institute.

In the summer evenings one can enjoy outdoor cinema whilst relaxing on the sand and during the afternoon  one can amble along it´s beautiful  promenade with pubs, restaurants, ice cream parlours, shops etc. In the Summer it is a  busy place for almost 24 hours a day and is actually, quite difficult to catch in the peaceful state seen in the photograph.
