Las Fuentes, Alcossebre: Marina, Beach & Freshwater Springs
Las Fuentes is one of the most distinctive parts of Alcossebre, combining its marina, Playa de Las Fuentes, natural freshwater springs and an attractive seafront promenade leading towards the centre of Alcossebre.
It is a pleasant area for swimming, walking, meeting for a drink or meal, or simply spending part of the day beside the Mediterranean. The marina and beach sit close together, but they are separate areas, each with its own character.
This local guide explains what you will find around Las Fuentes, where the freshwater springs are, how the coastal promenade connects with central Alcossebre, and what to expect when visiting the marina and beach.

Las Fuentes Marina
A waterfront marina with restaurants, cafés and terraces, particularly popular as a meeting place in the evening.
Playa de Las Fuentes
A sandy Mediterranean beach beside the marina and home to the freshwater springs that give Las Fuentes its name.

Las Fuentes Marina
The marina is one of the main landmarks of Las Fuentes and an easy place to recognise when exploring this northern part of Alcossebre. Boats line the harbour, while restaurants, cafés and terraces around the marina make it a natural place to stop for a drink or a meal.
It is particularly popular in the evening, when people come to the marina to meet, eat and enjoy the waterfront atmosphere.
Outside the busiest part of the summer season, parking in and around the marina is usually straightforward. During the main holiday period it can be busier, although there is additional parking nearby.

Playa de Las Fuentes
Playa de Las Fuentes lies on the other side of the marina from the promenade that leads towards central Alcossebre. It is a sandy beach and one of the best-known beaches in this part of the town.
The beach is particularly distinctive because of the natural freshwater springs found here. Fresh water emerges through the beach and mixes with the Mediterranean.
There is also a beach bar where you can stop for refreshments while spending time at Playa de Las Fuentes.
The Freshwater Springs at Las Fuentes
The natural freshwater springs are one of the features that make Las Fuentes different from Alcossebre's other beach areas.
Importantly, the springs are associated with Playa de Las Fuentes rather than being located inside the marina itself.
Fresh groundwater reaches the beach and shoreline, where it mixes with the Mediterranean. When swimming or walking close to the water, you may notice areas where the water feels cooler.
- 💧 The springs are at Playa de Las Fuentes
- 🌊 Fresh water mixes naturally with the Mediterranean
- 🏖 The springs are part of the beach environment
- ⚓ They are not located inside Las Fuentes marina
Walking from Las Fuentes to Central Alcossebre
One of the nicest ways to explore this part of Alcossebre is on foot. A coastal promenade begins just outside Las Fuentes marina and continues south towards the centre of Alcossebre.
This section of the promenade runs beside the sea. It is not a route with a continuous succession of beaches alongside it; for much of this stretch the Mediterranean itself is immediately beside the walkway.
The route offers attractive coastal views and provides a simple way to move between Las Fuentes and central Alcossebre without needing to drive.
A Simple Las Fuentes Walk
- Start around Las Fuentes marina
- Visit Playa de Las Fuentes and the freshwater springs
- Return towards the marina
- Join the promenade on the Alcossebre side of the marina
- Follow the seafront south towards central Alcossebre
- Continue into town for more restaurants, cafés, shops and beaches
Restaurants, Cafés & Evenings at Las Fuentes
The marina is the main concentration of restaurants and cafés in Las Fuentes. It works particularly well as a meeting point and is popular in the evening.
There is also a beach bar at Playa de Las Fuentes for refreshments while spending time at the beach.
As you leave the marina and follow the promenade towards central Alcossebre, the route becomes more about the sea and the coastal walk itself. A wider choice of restaurants, cafés and bars begins again as you approach central Alcossebre and continues farther down the coastline.
There is no need to organise an entire day around Las Fuentes. You might swim here in the morning, visit another beach later in the day, relax at your accommodation, or explore elsewhere along the coast before choosing somewhere for dinner.
