One of these secret corners of the Costa Blanca is the Barra Grande cove, which is isolated and difficult to access on foot. It is a nudist beach of gravel and rocks that is about 50 metres long and 7 metres wide. The clarity of its waters makes it ideal for snorkelling, so don't forget your diving goggles as you will be able to discover lots of marine life.
