Beaches on the Costa Blanca, Spain
The coast of the Costa Blanca is 25 kilometres long, with beaches which stand out because of their natural beauty, transparent waters and the Mediterranean forests which surround them. From north to south, the Capes of Sant Antoni, Sant Martí, Negre and La Nau mark the coastline. Jávea has a great variety of beaches to choose from: The bustling "Arenal" beach offers fine and shallow waters. Its many services include: vigilance services, play areas for children, natural and artificial shade, small motor boat and skate hire, restaurants, cafés and ample parking facilities. There are also small coves with smooth stones or rock, located in unique, privileged places, like the "Tangó" or "Pope", "La 1ª Caleta", "La Barraca" or "Portitxol", the paradisiacal "Granadella" creek which is ideal for diving, and "Ambolo" (naturist). Other coves are only accessible on foot or by boat, such as the "2ª Caleta", "Cala del Francés" or "Cala Sardinera". Jávea´s coast also hides a series of caves which are accessible by boat, such as the caves of "Tabaco" and "Orguens" around Capes Negre and La Nau, and the "Cova Tallada" on the Cape of Sant Antoni, which can also be reached on foot.
Pebble or rock beaches like "La Grava", "El 1º Muntanyar", "Calablanca", "El 2º Muntanyar" or "Benissero" are ideal for water sports such as jetski, windsurfing and canoeing, and are all protected by vigilance services.
Every year, Jávea´s beaches are awarded the blue flag of the European Union.
