Barraca or Portitxol cove
It is the perfect union between beach and nature. You can see the characteristic vegetation of the area while soaking your feet in its crystal clear waters. Get there by car or on foot, whatever suits you best. Perfect beach for snorkeling. It is also reminiscent of a beach of the Greek islands and although surprisingly it is one of the closest coves to Valencia city.
This cove also has a raised restaurant that offers one of the best views of the surroundings. The restaurant is called Cala Clémence and has direct access to the beach from its terrace.
This beach may have capacity control in the summer months.
📍 Location: Xàbia.
Cala en Caló
It is located between Cala Granadella and Cala Ambolo. It is called the “secret cove” of Jávea because of its difficult access (only accessible by sea) and its unspoiled environment, ideal for kayaking and snorkeling.
📍 Location: Xàbia.
Pinets Cove
The ecological route of Benissa hides one of the best coves in the Valencian Community. To access it you will have to follow the northern itinerary, as we tell you in this guide, until you reach a wild beach, surrounded by rocks, from which we can reach “Mar Morta i Roques Negres”, a landscape of great geological value.
📍 Location: Benissa.
La Renegà
This cove is a gift. It is located in an ideal environment, surrounded by pine forests. It can be reached by car or by accessing through the greenway that runs along some old train tracks. Cozy and quiet.
📍 Location: Oropesa, Castellón.
Baladrar Cove
The Baladrar cove in Benissa is a quiet beach in Alicante with crystal clear waters and rich in fauna and flora, ideal for diving and families. It has basic services and a beach bar, although it is difficult to access and requires proper footwear because of its stones.
📍 Location: Benissa, Alicante.
Moraig Cove
Cala del Moraig is located in Benitatxell, right between Xàbia and Moraira, and is composed of two parts: the beach itself and the Cova dels Arcs, possibly its most photographed nook. It is a perfect spot to spend a summer morning because of its excellent diving conditions and rocky area.
📍 Location: Benitatxell.
El Portet de Moraira
El Portet de Moraira is a semi-urban cove distinguished with a blue flag that offers all the goodness of paradise: a formidable seabed, the possibility of kayaking, paddle surfing or diving and a nourished gastronomic offer at the foot of the beach.
It is not surprising that it is so popular among the coves of Valencia, so it is advisable to come early to ensure parking in the parking areas provided.
📍 Location: Moraira (Alicante).
Mundina Cove and Ribamar Cove
These two small coves are located within the area of the Natural Park of the Sierra de Irta. We can consider them virgin, but difficult to access. Water shoes are recommended.
📍 Location: Alcossebre, Castellón.
Ferris Cove
Small dunes and palm trees surround this beach in Torrevieja. It is a magnificent place for diving thanks to its underwater meadows of posidonia and the amount of fish that live here.
📍 Location: Torrevieja, Alicante.
Granadella cove
Possibly one of the most famous coves. It is located south of Xàbia, and it is a gravel and rocky beach that is accessed through a slightly complicated road, but that will let you gradually see the beach you are heading to. La Granadella has held the blue flag (the one given to the most well-kept beaches in Spain) for decades.
📍 Location: Xàbia, Alicante.
El Pebret Cove
Quiet and big, it is great to spend the day there reading and meditating. We recommend you to go with your bike and take a ride around the surroundings to see the breathtaking scenery. Also take your binoculars with you , as it is a bird protection area.
📍 Location: Peñíscola, Castellón.
South Cove
The island of Tabarca is an earthly paradise too close to land. But the cove that steals our heart is the South, with waters that have nothing to envy to those of the Caribbean itself. Grab a sun lounger and enjoy the color blue.
📍 Location: Tabarca Island, Alicante.
In addition to these coves, in the Valencian Community you have more than 140 beaches where the blue flag will fly in 2025. In case you arrive and there is no room, look for the best alternative to these paradisiacal beaches and enjoy a day at the beach.
