Turquoise Water Surrounded by Cliffs and Viewpoints by the Sea
The day's route takes in the main natural beauties of the Costa Blanca, a region famous for its warm summer climate and its beaches and coves. Get your camera ready to take lots of pictures because the natural environment you will visit is not seen in many parts of the world. The coves with their clear, turquoise water allow you to spot lots of fish just metres from the shore. Don't forget your snorkel if you do the route from May to October!
It is important to consider the time of year when you visit the coves and viewpoints, as in the middle of summer there are capacity restrictions due to the large number of tourists who visit them. At any time of the year it is advisable to bring sun cream and a cap as all the sites are outdoors. To go down to some of the coves, it is advisable to wear sports shoes and clogs in case you want to go for a swim.

It's one of the most photogenic coves on the Costa Blanca, especially if you're a fan of Instagram. The small houses that used to belong to the fishermen, with their white façades and blue windows, are today the place where thousands of tourists take pictures with the sea in the background.
It is one of the longest coves on the Costa Blanca and ideal for snorkelling thanks to the clarity of the seabed.
In the off-season, there is a parking area just a five-minute walk from the cove. In summer, this car park tends to fill up quickly, so you have to leave your car in the car parks above.
