Many enjoy a day at one of Moraira’s beaches but, further along the heading towards Calpe to the south is the Benissa Costa where the eco-path can guide you through some wonderful lesser known beaches and coves including Cala Fustera, Cala Advocat and Cala Baladrar. Cliffs dramatically descend towards the sea forming inlets and natural pools, the coves are pebbly and rocky and perfect for escaping the more populated beaches to enjoy the peace of the waves lapping at the shore and the clear waters where snorkelling is excellent amidst the fascinating rock formations.

For those who buy property in the Costa Blanca it is well worth exploring the coastline by boat, most coves offer a different perspective when approached by sea and there are various rental companies offering hire or tours and some coves and caves can only be accessed this way. Cova Tallada between Denia and Javea has a cave carved by the waves which was used as a quarry during Roman times, it can be reached by kayak and paddleboard too and these can be easily hired at reasonable prices from main beaches. The smaller the vessle the easier it is to enter the cave and enjoy the echo chamber while taking a dip. Javea is home to Cala Ambolo known for its wild beauty and Cala Sardinera which can be accessed on foot is more easily reached by boat and for those who live in the Moraira or buy a home in Benitachell Cala Llebeig is a hidden stone cove which is rather difficult to access by land making it ideal for those wishing to take a trip by boat it provides an very exclusive feel with its cliff surround and fishermans shelters, the perfect place to relax in peace. Cala del Moraig has road access but, the cliffs and Cova dels Arcs (cave or arches) is particularly beautiful when approached by boat.
