Beach guide from Casa Toro
Choose the right Calpe beach day.
Casa Toro gives you Old Town character with the sea still close. Use this guide to choose between easy Arenal-Bol walks, promenade lunches, Baños de la Reina, La Fossa, coves and quieter terrace returns.
Beach access without giving up Old Town character
Casa Toro is not a beachfront apartment, and that is part of the appeal. You stay in a more atmospheric Old Town setting, then choose the beach plan that suits the day.
For simple beach time, Arenal-Bol is the natural first choice. For a bigger Calpe day, add Baños de la Reina, the promenade towards Ifach, La Fossa, Cantal Roig or smaller coves.
- Easy swim: Arenal-Bol and the promenade.
- History and water: Baños de la Reina and coastal rocks.
- Iconic Ifach views: La Fossa, Cantal Roig and the harbour side.
- Adventure mood: coves, viewpoints and day trips by car or taxi.
