Hazards

TOURISTS Very busy tourist town in summer. Stay away from swimming zones. Oct–Apr for surf.
RIP Castle headland creates currents on bigger swells on either beach — read conditions from shore first, as with Calpe's Peñón.
LOCALS Tourist-town beach — the challenge is sharing space with holidaymakers more than any real localism.
CURRENT Castle headland creates currents on bigger swells. Read conditions from the shore first.

Local knowledge
