Most beautiful coves Jávea
La Costa Blanca es conocida por sus calas (calas) y playas (playas). Mientras que Denia y Calpe tienen grandes playas, Jávea, Benissa y Moraira son más conocidas por sus pequeñas y pintorescas calas.
Empezamos por Jávea; uno de los puntos calientes de la Costa Blanca. Jávea es el pueblo más cosmopolítico de la zona. Aquí encontrará restaurantes más sofisticados, tiendas exclusivas y estancias boutique. También las calas de Jávea son cosmopolíticas.
1. Cala la Granadella
Cala la Granadella no es sólo una de las calas más bonitas de Jávea. Está considerada la cala más bonita de toda la provincia de Alicante. Cala la Granadella está situada en el centro de una pequeña bahía semicircular y protegida del oleaje por el Morro del Castell.
Granadella es una cala de guijarros con todos los servicios (p. ej. restaurantes, socorrista, actividades acuáticas) disponibles. Pero, al mismo tiempo, se encuentra en un entorno natural idílico, rodeado de pequeñas montañas cubiertas de frondosa vegetación.
Una cala ideal para practicar snorkel o disfrutar de una de las mejores rutas en kayak en Jávea. Estas rutas nos permiten descubrir las impresionantes y cercanas cuevas marinas o “calas secretas”.
2. Cala Ambolo
Cala Ambolo en Jávea es, al menos, la segunda cala más bonita de cuantas se encuentran en la costa de Jávea. Se encuentra muy cerca del Cabo de la Nao, con su característico faro. Esta cala está protegida de los vientos del sureste por la Isla del Descubridor. La isla está separada de la tierra por un estrecho canal que se puede atravesar en kayak o en pequeñas embarcaciones.
Lamentablemente, Cala Ambolo en Jávea lleva unos años cerrada al público, debido al riesgo de desprendimientos de rocas de los acantilados que la rodean.
Aún así es posible visitarla gracias a esta excursión en kayak desde Cala Granadella. O echar un vistazo desde el mirador Mirador Torre d’Ambolo.
3. Cala Portitixol
Cala Barraca de Jávea wordt ook Cala del Portitxol genoemd omdat het voor het eiland Portitxol ligt.
Sin duda esta es la cala más fotografiada de Jávea. Quizás incluso la Costa Blanca. Gracias a las casas de pescadores con puertas azules en la playa. Por lo tanto, es un destino popular para los usuarios de Instagram.
Like Cala Granadella, it has easy access by road (which is closed with a barrier when the parking spaces are full). It is also possible to access it on foot, taking a simple route from the Creu del Portitxol viewpoint.
Cala Barraca and its surroundings, under the protection of Cap Negre, are ideal for snorkeling and kayaking or paddle surfing.
4. Cala Sardinera
Cala Sardinera is located in the small bay that forms Cap Prim on its northern slope. So this cove is ideal for days when the south/southeast wind blows, as it is sheltered from them. It is a small cove of bolos (boulders) that is accessed on foot along a path from the Creu del Portitxol viewpoint.
Unfortunately, this cove has become overcrowded in recent years as a result of the countless boats that anchored in its waters.
5. Cala Blanca
The Cala Blanca in Jávea is a very small horseshoe-shaped cove; almost a “natural pool.” This beautiful cove gets its name from the color of the small cliffs that border it. It’s also known as Caleta de Fora. By visiting this cove in Jávea you can also discover the nearby Caleta de Dins, for which we will have to go through two small tunnels in the cliff, following the path that runs along the coast.
Ah! And don’t leave Cala Blanca without taking advantage of the opportunity to visit two of the 15 Viewpoints of Xàbia: Cala Blanca and Caletes, which are accessed by stairs from the access point to the cove.
6. Cala Caló
The second last cove on the list is Caló, the so-called “secret cove” of Jávea. To tell the truth, it is little secret anymore. As in recent years its popularity has grown exponentially as a result of the countless photos that have appeared on social networks. Of course, its beauty remains intact.
Cala Caló it is a very small cove, whose entrance is protected by a huge rock that fell from the cliffs that surround it. Access to this cove of wild beauty is only possible by sea.
The safest way to get to know this wonder is to book an excursion guided by expert instructors.
7. Cova Tallada
Although it is not actually a cove, it can’t be missed at this list. La Cova Tallada is a spectacular cave at sea level, located on the cliffs of Cabo de San Antonio, between Dénia and Jávea.
The cave is half natural and half artificial, since centuries ago it was excavated by humans to extract rough stone for construction. The Cova Tallada has many rooms, some flooded by sea water. The deepest part can be visited with the help of a flashlight. It can be visited by foot from Les Rotes in Denia.
At last
Some of the coves (Granadella & Portitxol) offer services, like a restaurant, toilets, lifeguard etc. The others not. Please be respectful to nature and don’t damage any nature, only walk on the path and take your litter with you. So we can all keep enjoying the most beautiful coves of Jávea.
