A rocky cove of brilliant clear water below the cliffs near Cap Prim — a favourite for snorkelling and diving, with no sand but plenty of drama.

A stunning pine-fringed cove of pebbles and crystal-clear water, regularly voted one of Spain's best beaches — superb for snorkelling. Get there early in summer, as parking fills fast.

Jávea's only fully sandy beach — a Blue Flag arc of nearly half a kilometre backed by a lively promenade of restaurants, beach bars and shops. The heart of the resort in summer.
