Romana beach in Alcossebre is a fine-sand town beach, about 500 metres long by 40 wide, just south of Carregador. It's accessible, has a Blue Flag in 2026 and joins the centre of the town via the Senda Litoral, a wooden walkway. If you're looking for the full guide to services and access, you'll find it in the Playa Romana guide; here we look at what it looks like, what guests say and where to sleep.
