Beach characteristics
Overview
Playa Els Tossals near Guardamar del Segura is listed for naturist use, with nude bathing reported away from the main textile access areas. The setting is a quiet, dune-backed sandy beach on the Mediterranean, without developed facilities on the sand. Visitors reach it on foot by established dune paths and generally stay for a half-day of swimming, sunbathing and walking. Mornings are often calmer and easier for access, while afternoons bring stronger sun and heat. There is little shade, no toilets, showers or food outlets, so water, sun protection and supplies must be carried in.
Visiting the beach
Playa Els Tossals is an open Mediterranean shoreline near Guardamar del Segura, used mainly in daytime and in settled weather from late spring to early autumn. There is no ticketed entry and no fixed opening hours. Plan for a self-sufficient half-day visit centred on swimming, sunbathing and walking, carrying everything needed for the stay on the sand. Access is on foot via established dune paths from nearby coastal access points. Stay on marked paths, observe posted signs, and allow time for the walk in heat, especially on warm afternoons when soft sand slows progress. The surface is sand with dune-backed sections, and ground can be soft and uneven underfoot. Accessibility is limited, and wheelchair users or visitors with pushchairs will find conditions difficult without assistance because of the loose surface and dune paths. Parking is not dedicated at the beach; use parking in surrounding coastal areas and walk in, allowing extra time for the final approach on foot. Public transport does not serve the sand directly, so most visitors travel via the Guardamar del Segura area and then continue on foot. There are no developed facilities, toilets, showers, lifeguards in all zones, food outlets or shade structures on the beach, and little natural shade is available. Bring drinking water, food, sun shelter, footwear for sand, and bags to remove all waste, since nothing can be obtained or discarded on the sand. Shops and restaurants are only in surrounding settlements, so supplies must be arranged before the walk in. Water conditions vary with wind and season, and calm water should not be assumed even in summer. Swim conservatively, supervise children, protect valuables, and check posted signs for seasonal rules, including dog restrictions.

Naturist rules
Naturist use at Playa Els Tossals is recorded as tolerant rather than formally zoned, so position nude bathing away from main textile access areas. Give other beach users space and avoid staring, loud behaviour or photography of others, keeping interaction low-key throughout the stay. Keep swimwear or a cover-up available for paths, parking areas and mixed sections, and cover up when walking past other groups or using shared access. Stay on established dune paths, respect signs protecting dunes, and take all rubbish away since waste must be carried out. Dogs may face seasonal restrictions, so check signs before bringing one, and keep any visit discreet and considerate of others seeking quiet use.
