Playa del Cuartel Vell in Cabanes offers a refreshing antidote to the more bustling coastal destinations. This is a beach where the primary activity is simply being – feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, listening to the rhythmic sigh of the waves, and letting the everyday world melt away. Its low-profile nature means you’re more likely to share the sand with a handful of locals or fellow seekers of peace, rather than throngs of tourists.
“Its understated, local character offers an authentic, uncrowded sunbathing experience far from tourist hotspots.”
