170 meters, offering a beautiful landscape. Area has a marina with 352 moorings
and a fishing port. The area is lively and has all the Mediterranean charm. It

traditional fish auction. From the port boat tours are offered during most of
the year to visit the bay or nearby towns such as Denia, Calpe and Altea. In the
vicinity lies the seaside neighborhood with narrow streets and ancient houses of
fishermen.
The Arenal beach, located in the center of the bay, is the main tourist resort
and most popular beach with its fine sand and shallow waters. Along the beach is
a promenade with shops, restaurants, bars and recreational areas is the nerve

with the focus area of youth and the more cosmopolitan.
The rest of the beaches of Javea are gravel, stones or rocks, and are a paradise
for scuba divers for its beautiful sea. Tourist offices have a small guide with
ten routes recommended for this.
Javea also has a wide range of walking and cycling, which run through beautiful
landscapes and lead to lookouts and the Natural Park of Montgo. From the top of
