From here you can admire the calm and crystal-clear water.
  • Cala del Moraigis an idyllic bay with a pebble beach and very clear water, located at the foot of an impressive cliff coast. In summer you can refresh yourself in a cozy beach bar with small tapas and delicious drinks. The bay isn’t just suitable for bathing though. There’s another attraction! The Cova dels Arcs, a beautiful water cave from which an underground river flows into the sea. A magnet for many divers! But climbing enthusiasts also get their money’s worth on the steep slopes.

Beaches of Dénia

The approximately 20-kilometer long fine sandy beach seems tangibly endless, offers both relaxation and adventure, and is never overcrowded due to its size.

Right at Denia’s city center is the beach section Las Marinas. Besides various beach and water sports, you can enter the water very safely here, as the water deepens only very gradually. Ideal for families with children and beginning swimmers. In some places you can walk about 30 meters toward the horizon and still have ground under your feet.

Further south in the Las Rotas district begins the diving paradise “Cabo San Antonio”. The beach becomes rockier here and transitions into steep cliffs. It’s therefore less suitable for relaxation. However, divers appreciate the pristine underwater nature all the more.
