What to see in Jávea
The coves along the Jávea stretch of the coastline are veritable treasures of the Mediterranean. El Arenal is an ideal choice if you’re looking for services and a beach close to the town, whereas if you’re on the hunt for something a little bit wilder, don’t miss El Portitxol cove, which offers a full day out spent discovering the little islet and photographing its blue doors, as many have before.
And there are plenty more coves for you to explore: Sardinera, Granadella, El Tangó next to the port, El Francés, El Ministro and De Ambolo. Defined by their clear waters and beautiful cliffs and rocks, the Xàbia/Jávea coastline is a paradise for lovers of diving.
The centre of Xàbia/Jávea is just as enchanting as its beaches so make sure you leave ample time to wander idly around. There are a couple of walks you can take, such as that up to Les Pesqueres viewing point as well as a route that will lead you to all the viewing points in the town as well as monuments such as Séquia de la "Noria"
Walking to Cova Tallada de Jávea is another unique experience. And if you’re in the mood for a party, we recommend visiting the destination during its Moros y Cristianos festival and Hogueras de San Juan.
Jávea also has a large number of restaurants where you can have a bite to eat, savouring a wide selection of dishes such as classics from the area including pulpo seco (dried octopus), arroces marineros (rice with seafood), gamba roja (red shrimp) and guisos de pescado (fish stews).
So what are you waiting for? Grab your sandals and your snorkel and get ready to experience the very best of the Mediterranean.
