Alcossebre does not have its own train station, but it can be reached by train via nearby towns combined with a short taxi or bus journey.

  • Benicarló–Peñíscola Station — approx. 25 minutes by car or taxi
    Well connected on the Valencia–Barcelona rail line.

  • Convenient for airport arrivals and departures
