The town has a few small coves with crystal clear waters such as the Cabo Cervera, one of the most beautiful beaches in Torrevieja or Cala Ferris for divers. Note that the Higuera Creek has a wooden ramp, allowing easy access to the sea. On the beaches, the playa del cura is the most urban, so fully equipped. The city also has natural pools, a set of small piers forming a bathing area with beaches surrounded by rocks.

If Elche does not lack assets to visit, the city also has six beaches enjoying an environment of dunes and pine trees, very pleasant and quite exceptional on this coast. In the north, the three beaches, El Altet, Arenales del Sol and Carabassí are perfect for water sports, from the wind and the richness of the sea beds. In the south, you will find El Pinet, La Marina and Les Pesquere-el Rebollo.

Parallel to the shoreline, the rocky promontory of the Montgó rises between the communes of Dénia and Xavia to culminate at 753 metres. If at first, its silhouette appears abrupt and dry, it contains a great diversity in terms of its topography, its landscape and also its plant and animal species. It has been declared Natural Park in 1987 as it has more than 600 species, some of which are endemic and remarkable, such as kermès oak, hybrid, ciste varieties, sea fennel, Valence of Valencia (iron-à-horseback), some scabieuses, juniper De and dwarf palms. Consistent with the landscape, the fauna met will be different: gulls and peregrine falcons in cliffs and foxes, wild boar and some genettes in the inner rocky zones. Towards Dénia, this rock mass binds to the sea by cliffs and calas (small crypts). A variety of hiking trails will allow you to travel through the park, with a low level of difficulty. For example, the less sporty can spend two hours in the walking circuit leading to the Cova of the Aigua, the Water Cave, or an hour by bike. When the most trained can reach the Creueta (peak of the massif at 753 meters), after 12 hours go and return from a rather difficult circuit. However, you can always contemplate the whole coast, from Cullera to the Penon d'Ifach and if you are lucky and time is clear, you can guess the profile of Ibiza.

Alicante, a city on Spain's east coast, offers many tourist attractions. Not to be missed is the Santa Bárbara castle, with its panoramic views over the city and the Mediterranean Sea. Alicante's historic quarter is also very interesting, with its picturesque alleyways and historic buildings. Art lovers can visit the Alicante Museum of Contemporary Art (MACA) and the Gravina Museum of Fine Arts (MUBAG). For relaxation, Alicante's beaches, such as El Postiguet and San Juan, are ideal.

This is the city's main attraction. In the north of the harbour, Levante beach is the best known and wide, approximately 2 km of fine sand. With all along, a sea promenade littered with terraces and restaurants and especially lively, especially in the evening. To the south of the harbour, you can find the beach of Poniente, which is about three kilometres long and has many places to relax or drink a drink, practically all year round. It should be noted that its promenade, works by architects Carlos Ferrater and Xavier Martí Galí, recreates the shapes of cliffs and waves to generate areas of shade and light. Between these two beaches, in a space that communicates with the old town, you find the little cove of Evil Pas and, in front of it, the island of Benidorm, on which you can go by boat and which is also a small paradise for scuba diving. Finally, at the far north of Benidorm, we can find, and yes, two small natural coves: It Ximo and the Almadrava, rather quiet since away from downtown and located in a rugged area, quite inaccessible. You can dive there because the rocky funds are quite interesting.
