About

Font de la Parra is located on the Balearic Sea (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 35th place out of 86 beaches in the Castello Castellon region 44.2 km away from its center, the city of Castello de la Plana. It is one of the beaches of Alcala de Xivert settlement, just 8.8 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place, among the mountains, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a tiny bay with crystal blue water and light sand & pebble cover, so it is recommended to wear special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Font de la Parra coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

Getting to the beach is quite simple: just take a short walk along the trail. Parking is located at some distance, within 300 meters.

15 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Platja de les Fonts, which has a rating of 6.8.

Font de la Parra (Castello Castellon) region (Costa del Azahar sub-region) is located outside the Alcala de Xivert settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Font de la Parra with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

The person responsible for constructing this beach in the heart of the protected Serra d'Irta area should be held accountable and face severe consequences, such as imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole. It's truly outrageous, as I perceive it.

A true disappointment for both nature enthusiasts and the environment, this anomaly in the heart of a preserved natural park is a genuine sorrow.
