Cala El Collao is an intimate, secluded beach located in Calpe, Valencia, Spain. It is known for its golden sand and pebbles, contrasting dramatically with the crystal-clear, azure waters of the Mediterranean. At just 60 meters long and 5 meters wide, it offers a tranquil escape from the bustling larger beaches like Playa del Arenal-Bol. This beach, also referred to as Cala El Racó, is best suited for those seeking relaxation and connection with nature. Access to the beach is somewhat difficult, with options limited to walking or by boat, reflecting its isolated nature[1][5].
Situated near the majestic Peñón de Ifach, the natural beauty of Cala El Collao is enhanced by the rock's imposing presence. This backdrop of rugged landscape and clear sea makes it an idyllic spot for swimming and sunbathing. However, the beach lacks amenities such as restrooms or lifeguard services, making it more of an untouched gem for explorers[1][3].
Calpe itself is a popular resort town on the Costa Blanca, offering plenty of activities and attractions nearby, making Cala El Collao a perfect hideaway amidst a lively vacation spot.
