Apartment in Calpe near La Fossa Beach
La Fossa Beach (also called Levante) is one of Calpe's two large urban beaches, right next to the iconic Peñón de Ifach: fine sand, a pedestrian promenade and a Blue Flag in season. Ámbar Beach is located in this area, in a quiet residential complex a short walk from the beach, with a communal pool, lift and parking space — designed for couples, families and long stays throughout the year. Calpe is on the Costa Blanca, in Alicante province, southeast Spain.
Check availability and bookLa Fossa-Levante: the beach with views of the Peñón
Calpe has two large urban beaches: La Fossa-Levante northeast of the Peñón de Ifach and Arenal-Bol to the southwest. La Fossa is the most visually striking: direct views of the Peñón from the sand, a broad promenade lined with restaurants and ice-cream parlours, and slightly livelier waves than Arenal-Bol when the easterly wind blows.
- Peñón de Ifach views: the silhouette of the rock presides over every swim and every sunset on La Fossa.
- Pedestrian promenade: closed to traffic in summer, with bars, restaurants and ice-cream parlours on both sides.
- Fine sand and services: showers, toilets and lifeguard in high season.
- Harbour link: walk south and you reach the marina and the fish auction at the Lonja.
