By writing this review I probably put at risk what is one of the last stretches of unspoilt coastline in southern Spain. If you are prepared to walk then you can take in a wonderful stretch of coastline largely free from half finished villas and derelict building sites. Beware of mountain bikers on the steeper sections of pathways. The Natural Park is both peaceful and easily accessible, especially from Peñiscola. Walkers of all abilities can take advantage of the main paths, but take a picnic lunch as there are no places to buy food and drink. It is possible to drive along the coastal road if you are careful, it is mostly unsurfaced and a bit rough in places. Torre Badum is a good place to stop, as is the small car park a few Km south of the tower at Pebret. We were there in February and had the place mostly to ourselves

The road to Torre Badum (tower with amazing views) is not well signposted and we stumbled upon it. Head towards Casa El Penon and just follow the road. After the tower you drive down close to the sea and there are some lovely beaches there. Road aren't great but worth it if you're after view and secluded beaches

We went off season (October) and it was still hot. We were recommended to go to a beach here (playa pobret) and it took us a while to get there by car as the road is not paved and can be dusty and bumpy. It was worth it. The beaches were deserted, the sea warm and the views back towards Peñiscola stunning. Take water and a packed lunch as there are no facilities, but it's great fun. Lots of people walk this route and there are plenty of landmarks and pretty views on the way. It took us aboiut 40 mins to get to Pobret from the city.

What a delightful drive along the coast up to spectacular vantage points with views to die for!
The drive is not for the faint hearted, some very tight bends and drops!
The coves for swimming and snorkelling are stunning! The fish were stunning.
We drove into the hills on roads which are not really roads, my advice walk or cycle or possibly a trail bike with supplies as nothing around for miles. Worth the visit.

If you want time and space to think and wonder at nature, take a walk in the Sierra de Irta. I recommend not in summer - unless early morning - it's too hot. All other times of year are lovely, but Spring is the best with the wild flowers. Always take water and a 'phone as it's very isolated. And you need to be fairly fit, but on the other hand I'm not fit, I just take my time, rest whenever I want and stop to take in the scenery and scan for birds. There is one round trip which takes 2 or 3 hours, or just go to Torre Badum and back, or up the first mountain and down to Mas del Senor and come back - in just 1 or 2 hours. I don't give an 'excellent' rating as I think the maps given by the tourist info are poor, and the signage can be difficult, particularly on the longer routes, so take care and don't get lost!

Reading many of the reviews before this we decided to park our car about 2 km away from the Torre Badum and hiked up to it. We didn’t need to, the road was totally driveable with a couple of narrow passages. (If you have driven much in Spain you will see that this drive is no big deal compared to many of the other roads we have been on). We did a hike past the Torre that was suggested through Wikiloc and it was amazing! We walked past several coves and beaches that our teens were quick to get into. Well worth the drive from Peniscola for sure, don’t miss this!!

Hidden gem in the Peñiscola coast.
Great for ride or walking tours.
A total unexpected surprise.
Mind the high temperatures from July until September.

Visited in late October but we were lucky to have some nice warm weather. Walked thru the park and found a nice beach were we swam and lay in the sun. Nice scenery and great location to take the family for a day or even for private get-a-way ! :)

I went by bike. Excellent roads, wide and nice. It is easy with some downs and lights, so it is perfect for a nice and smooth relaxing trip. Almost all the road is dirt/rocks with a few pavement areas. I went before 8 am so it was almost empty. After 9:00-10:00 am people arrives. I was surprised to find such a nice roads for bike and hike so close to civilization but in a very very good and natural condition. Highly recommended.

Ciao veniamo a peniscola e vorremmo sapere per una gita in barca
Written 17 August 2023
La ruta senderista por el Parque Natural de la Sierra de Irla ¿es para personal acostumbrado a hacer rutas con alguna dificultad, o la puede hacer una persona con aptitudes medias?
Aproximadamente ¿cuántos kms son?
¿Calzado especial de montaña?
Muchas gracias
Written 14 October 2019
Son varios kilómetros sí, salir desde Peñiscola hacia Alcocebre, en vehiculo o andando, grandes pendientes, gravilla, y caminos con grietas por el agua... tramos con asfalto. Lo mismo que el usuario Nelly, muchas calas, mar mediterráneo y mucho tramo a nivel del mar si se quiere. Nada de agua dulce así que llevar botellas. Nada de bares, nada de población, solo vegetación y plantas autóctonas.

Hola, que tal lo veis para ir con tres niños pequeños? Dos aun van en el carro(gemelar) el otro es de 5 años

Hola¡ Yo veo mejor recorrer las pistas en coche, e ir parando en las calas.Una vez alli podeis dar un pequeño paseo con los niños y disfrutar de tan magnífico paisaje.Para ir andando,creo que hace demasiada calos para los niños pues no hay apenas sombra.

The distance from Alcoceber to Peñiscola by bike inside the Park and following the trails is about 20 - 22 Km (one way). Easy ride by bike (hard for kids). Highly recommended. Bring water and food. There are a few places with small calas (mini beaches) where you can rest during the trip.

Me gustaría saber si es recomendable en kayak por esa parte de la costa y si hay alguna zona específica para eso. Gracias
Written 22 August 2018
No me consta que haya empresas que alquilen kayak. Desde luego, si la mar está en calma sería una excursión preciosa dado que en la zona de la Torre Badum (antigua torre de defensa que marca el acceso al Parque en su vertiente martítima) hay unos acantilados preciosos.

He visto que hay varias rutas. Alguna recomendacion para ir a pasar el dia? Hay alguna zona habilitada para llevar comida?
Written 19 August 2018
Nosotros dejamos el coche al final de Alcossebre antes de llegar al faro hay un pequeño parking y anduvimos un par de horas siempre paralelo a la costa. Y en ese trayecto no encontramos mesas por ejemplo para hacer un picnic. Pero al pasar por calas de piedras sí que paramos a almorzar.
Written 19 August 2018
Como ya han indicado el resto, para acceder con silla de ruedas es muy dificultoso.
Lo que si puede es acceder con coche a cualquiera de las muchas calas existentes y desde el coche a la cala hay muy poco camino.
