About Cala Mundina
Cala Mundina is a tiny cove on the Serra d'Irta coast at Alcossebre, in the municipality of Alcalà de Xivert (Castellón). It lies directly below the Alcossebre lighthouse (the Irta cape light), at the mouth of the Melentivet ravine, inside the Serra d'Irta Natural Park. The cove is U-shaped and only about 25 m long and 15 m deep, with a shore of rounded boulders, gravel and coarse sand rather than fine sand, and rocks either side that are good for snorkelling. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists it as a beach of traditional nudist use and rates it isolated with low occupancy; the regional tourist board describes it simply as a wild, unserviced cove where mountain meets sea. Because it is so small, the whole cove functions as the nude area when naturists are present. FEN notes that the neighbouring beaches, Ribamar to the north and Cala Blanca to the south, are also used by nudists, so it fits into a chain of naturist spots along this protected coast. Sea conditions can be choppy, so it suits strong swimmers on calm days.
Getting there
From Alcossebre follow the coast road south towards the lighthouse (the popular 'ruta del colesterol' promenade also leads there on foot). A dirt track continues close to the cove; the Spanish Naturist Federation suggests leaving the car by the lighthouse, from where it is a short walk down. Parking is informal and limited. There is no public transport to the cove, no facilities, and no wheelchair access; wear footwear for the stones.
Amenities
Legal context
Nudity is not an offence on Spanish public beaches, and the Spanish Penal Code has not treated it as public indecency since 1989. A municipality can still restrict it by local ordinance. The Spanish Naturist Federation lists Cala Mundina as a beach of traditional nudist use. It is within the Serra d'Irta Natural Park, where camping and fires are prohibited (checked 2026).
Naturism at Cala Mundina sits under Spain's rules for officially designated nude beaches — explicit protection inside the marked area.
