These are the most beautiful coves of the Costa Blanca

Let’s get to the point. The Costa Blanca runs through several beautiful towns in the Levante region, such as Jávea, Denia or Benissa, among others. Let’s look at the coves that star in our top list today:

Cala Granadella (Jávea)

Among all the coves we’ve visited on the Costa Blanca, Cala Granadella takes first place without question. Its 160 meters of beach are framed by Mediterranean pines that create a perfect postcard, while its turquoise waters invite you to snorkel and kayak all year round.

What we like most about this jewel of Jávea is its versatility: it’s perfect for families looking for a quiet day, but also ideal if you want to do water sports. However, we recommend arriving early in summer, as access is regulated to preserve its natural beauty.

Cala de Finestrat

If you’re looking for the perfect balance between natural beauty and activity, we’ll always recommend Cala de Finestrat. This bay of fine sand and crystal-clear waters is a true paradise for water sports on the Costa Blanca, and attracts both beginners and experts every year.

We love how this cove blends Mediterranean tranquility with the energy of a beach full of life. Paddleboarding and kayaking find ideal conditions here, while if you prefer to relax, you can enjoy one of the finest sands in the area.

The accessibility is excellent and it has all the necessary services for you to spend a 100% complete day. It’s one of those places where every family member finds their perfect spot, from the most adventurous to those seeking total relaxation.

Cala del Moraig (Benitatxell)

Cala del Moraig is our top recommendation if you fancy doing some diving and snorkeling. This Blue Flag pebble beach is surrounded by impressive cliffs that create a spectacular natural setting, while its seabed harbors a biodiversity that surprises us on every visit.

Cala Ambolo (Jávea)

If a nudist beach is on your itinerary, Cala Ambolo in Jávea is the place to go. A pristine cove and one of the few nudist beaches on the Costa Blanca, famous for its crystal-clear waters and untouched natural surroundings.

Access is limited for safety reasons, and it currently has no services. One of its best-known attractions is the 16th-century watchtower, which guards the coast and recalls its history against pirate attacks. Ideal for snorkeling and diving.

Cala El Charco (Denia)

If you have pets and don’t want to leave them out of your vacation, Cala El Charco is the ideal beach for you and your furry friend.

Its sand and crystal-clear waters give meaning to the place, although, as we tell you, its most important feature is that it has an area enabled for dogs. This distinguishes it from the others and gives you the comfort you need with your pet.

Cala de la Barbera (Villajoyosa)

Cala de la Barbera in Villajoyosa is a charming tourist destination that combines history and nature. This spot is located near the Casa Museo La Barbera dels Aragonés, a 16th-century mansion that showcases the local wine tradition and aristocratic life.

The cove offers clean waters and a tranquil environment, perfect for enjoying the sea and Mediterranean landscape, accompanied by nearby trails and cultural spaces.

Other beaches

La Llobella Cove (Benissa)

For the more adventurous and nature lovers, La Llobella Cove in Benissa is a wild and very peaceful spot, recommended for those seeking a less crowded environment. Moreover, its limited access, surrounded by nature and with rich marine life, allows for a much more intimate experience than other coves in the area.

L'Ampolla Cove (Moraira)

L’Ampolla Cove represents accessible luxury on the Costa Blanca. This developed beach in Moraira combines Mediterranean natural beauty with all the amenities that make for a perfect, worry-free beach day: lifeguards, sun lounger rentals, showers, and full accessibility for people with reduced mobility.

We love recommending this cove for families or groups seeking comfort without sacrificing beauty. Its fine sand and crystal-clear waters create the perfect setting, while the presence of the historic Moraira Castle adds a cultural touch to the landscape.

Cala Blanca (Jávea)

Cala Blanca is our hidden treasure in Jávea, a rocky beach of gravel and boulders that has managed to maintain its authentic Mediterranean character. The impressive white cliffs that give it its name create a unique visual contrast, while its calm and protected environment makes it an ideal refuge for families and snorkeling enthusiasts.
