Its length is around <strong data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"419\">825 metres<\/strong>, although some sources put it at up to 1,400 metres if you extend it to the edge of Cap Negret beach. Its average width ranges between <strong data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"586\">20 and 40 metres<\/strong>, depending on the tide and the season.<\/p><p data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"843\">What clearly sets it apart from other beaches in the area is its <strong data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"743\">mix of pebbles, gravel and coarse sand<\/strong>. It isn\u2019t a fine-sand beach like Levante in Benidorm, but that has notable advantages:<\/p><ul data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"1039\"><li data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"927\"><p data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"927\">The water stays much cleaner, as there are no sand particles floating in it.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"990\"><p data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"990\">You don\u2019t take the beach home stuck to your feet or inside your car.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1039\"><p data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1039\">No dust or sandy breeze when the wind picks up.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1296\">This kind of bed lets you see the seabed even at a depth of a metre and a half. <strong data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1191\">The clarity of the water is one of its great attractions<\/strong>. And if you have a diving mask, you\u2019ll see fish, marine vegetation and sandbanks perfectly defined.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1328\">What\u2019s it like to swim here?<\/h3><p data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1611\">As soon as you get in, you notice that <strong data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1432\">the seabed slopes more steeply than on sandy beaches<\/strong>. After four or five steps you can\u2019t touch the bottom. So it\u2019s worth keeping an eye out if you\u2019re with small children, although there are lifeguards during the peak summer months.<\/p><p data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1831\">The waves, on the other hand, are very gentle. La Roda is relatively sheltered by the port\u2019s breakwater and by its orientation. Even on days with a bit of wind, the sea stays calm and safe for swimming.<\/p><p data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"2003\">The atmosphere is relaxed, both in the water and out of it. No loud music, no jet skis constantly zipping past, no crowding on the shore. You come here to just be.<\/p><h2 data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"246\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facilities_at_La_Roda_beach_everything_youll_find_when_you_arrive\"><\/span>Facilities at La Roda beach: everything you\u2019ll find when you arrive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p data-start=\"248\" data-end=\"418\">It\u2019s one thing for a beach to be pretty.

It\u2019s the most central urban beach in town and the easiest to find. Search for it on Google as <em data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"832\">\u201cplaya de la roda maps\u201d<\/em> and you\u2019ll get the exact spot.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"908\">How do you get to La Roda Beach?<\/h3><p data-start=\"909\" data-end=\"1153\">You can walk there from anywhere in the centre of Altea. If you\u2019re coming by car, take the AP-7 (exit 64) or the N-332. You can also take the TRAM from Benidorm or Alicante and get off at the <em data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1115\">Altea<\/em> stop. From there it\u2019s only a 7-minute walk.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1191\">Where can you park?<\/h3><p data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1380\">There\u2019s free parking next to the port if you arrive early. There\u2019s also a blue zone (paid parking) on Avenida del Puerto and the adjacent streets. In high season, it\u2019s best to arrive before 11:00.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1422\">Is it good to go with children?<\/h3><p data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1606\">Yes, although the water gets deep a little more quickly than on sandy beaches. There are lifeguards and showers, and the promenade has shade and benches. Ideal for families with children over 5.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1631\">Is there sand?<\/h3><p data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1764\">No. The ground is made up of <strong data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1689\">pebbles and fine gravel<\/strong>. This keeps the water cleaner, but it\u2019s a good idea to bring water shoes.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1809\">Is it quiet or very crowded?<\/h3><p data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1961\">It depends on the time of year. In July and August it\u2019s busier, but it\u2019s still much quieter than other beaches on the coast such as Levante (Benidorm).<\/p><h3 data-start=\"511\" data-end=\"556\">Get to know Altea from its coastal heart<\/h3><p data-start=\"558\" data-end=\"837\">Visiting Altea without stopping at La Roda Beach is like looking at a painting without focusing on the centre. This beach doesn\u2019t need posing or filters to win you over: <strong data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"744\">its simplicity is its charm<\/strong>. It\u2019s there for everyone, whether you come with family, a partner, a backpack or a paddleboard.<\/p><p data-start=\"839\" data-end=\"1015\">It offers you sea, shade, a shower, something cold to drink and a view that stays with you. It doesn\u2019t shout for your attention: <strong data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1014\">it whispers just enough to make you want to come back<\/strong>.<\/p><p data-start=\"1017\" data-end=\"1173\">If you only have an afternoon, come here. If you have a week, make it your base for enjoying everything Altea and the Costa Blanca have to offer.<\/p><p data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1452\">Not every beach gives you something without asking anything in return.
