Must-see coves on your road trip through Alicante

Your rental car is the best option for exploring the most exclusive coves and beaches in this province during the summer months. They’re located in difficult-to-reach wooded areas, and there aren’t public transport lines.

Travel Alicante’s most beautiful beaches and coves from north to south. Let's get started:

Cala del Moraig in Jávea

We start in the northernmost part of the Costa Blanca, specifically in Jávea, one of the trendiest destinations on the coast. This beautiful cove between cliffs has seen its popularity grow in recent years to the point of having limited capacity. The crystal clear waters shimmer in one of the wildest spots along the coast. It has a parking area and is adapted for people with reduced mobility.
