The Costa Blanca is one of those destinations where summer is experienced in a truly special way. Its more than 200 kilometres of coastline hide authentic natural treasures: small coves surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, crystal-clear waters and corners where you can enjoy the sea away from the usual pace.
Beyond its well-known beaches, Alicante is home to unique places where nature takes centre stage. Perfect spots for a swim, snorkelling, discovering Mediterranean landscapes or simply enjoying a day of disconnection beside the Mediterranean.
Here are five of the best coves on the Costa Blanca that deserve a place on your list this summer.
Cala Racó de Conill: nature and Mediterranean essence in Villajoyosa
Located between Villajoyosa and Benidorm, Cala Racó de Conill is one of those spots that still preserves the most natural essence of the Costa Blanca. Its rocky setting, Mediterranean vegetation and transparent waters create a unique landscape where you can switch off and enjoy the Mediterranean in its purest form.
Its seabed and the clarity of its waters make it an ideal place for snorkelling and discovering the richness hidden beneath the waters of Alicante. The peaceful atmosphere of this small enclave invites you to enjoy a slower-paced experience, surrounded by nature and far from the buzz of the busiest areas.
A cove with a personality of its own, perfect for those looking to discover a more authentic Costa Blanca.
Cala Tío Ximo: a natural refuge in Benidorm
Although Benidorm is known for its atmosphere, its large beaches and its wide range of tourism options, it also has small corners where nature takes the spotlight. Cala Tío Ximo, located next to Sierra Helada, is one of them.
This small cove combines rocky areas and crystal-clear waters, making it a perfect place for swimming and snorkelling while discovering one of the city’s most special natural settings.
Its peaceful atmosphere and privileged location make it an ideal option for those who want to enjoy another side of Benidorm: more relaxed, more natural and connected to the Mediterranean.
Cala del Moraig: a unique landscape between cliffs
In Benitatxell, we find Cala del Moraig, one of the most special spots on the Costa Blanca thanks to its spectacular natural setting and geological formations. Set between large rock walls, this cove offers a distinctive landscape where nature has created the perfect scene for enjoying the Mediterranean from a different perspective.
One of its great attractions is Cova dels Arcs, an impressive natural formation shaped over thousands of years by the action of water. Its large stone arches have become one of the most recognisable images of the Alicante coastline and one of the most photographed places in the area.
Cala El Portet de Moraira: a jewel of turquoise waters
Cala El Portet de Moraira is one of the most representative images of the Mediterranean on the Costa Blanca. Its small bay shape, calm waters and well-kept surroundings make it one of those places where you want to spend the day at an unhurried pace.
It is a perfect cove for enjoying a relaxed swim, practising paddleboarding or simply letting yourself be carried away by the tranquillity of its crystal-clear waters. Its family-friendly atmosphere and natural beauty have made it one of the must-visit places for anyone discovering the north of Alicante.
Surrounded by the charm of Moraira, this cove perfectly reflects the Mediterranean lifestyle: enjoying small moments, good company and a privileged setting.
Cala Granadella: the natural jewel of Jávea
Considered one of the most beautiful coves in Alicante, Cala Granadella is one of the great icons of the Costa Blanca. Located in Jávea, it combines crystal-clear waters, nature and a Mediterranean landscape that wins you over from the very first moment.
Its seabeds make it an especially attractive place for snorkelling, kayaking or paddleboarding, while its natural setting invites you to discover the coast from a different perspective.
