The 10 best aquariums in Calpe

This is the other beachfront in Calpe, less crowded, where walkers find the usual restaurants, bars and souvenirs shops. Ideal for a short stroll. The beach itself is wide, it must be packed during the summer months. The beach is cleaned up everything morning by the municipality technical services. There are benches along the way which allows for frequent breaks.

Today Saturday 13. 2025 I came to this beach because of the sand but like always pay zone for parking ... Here in Spain greed in s eternal. The view is exceptional having a mountain stick out of the water ... The water is relatively clear and clean. There aren't many paid umbrellas and this is a good thing The beach is wide and has many restaurants. It's 4/5 because of the paid parking and the algae in the water

Fantastic & Scenic Beach in Calpe This is a scenic beach in Calpe, it is very long very wide and the sand is great. It has lots of shops, boutiques, restaurants & cafés around it. The water is quite shallow so good for the young kids. The best part though is the fabulous view of the rock! We really enjoyed our time in Calpe.

Two minute walk from our hotel, a lovely walk down towards the rock and then it continues all around to the town centre. Very clean and great to just stroll and enjoy the sunshine and views.

Blue flag beach with crystal clear water and nice sandy beach, although the beach is becoming narrower. Unfortunately the city council are hoodwinked into believing that allowing the dead seaweed to pile up is environmentaly friendly. But not for the economy of the city which relies on tourists. It stinks and is really smelly and you have to climb mountains of it to get to the sea. The contract for sunbed management is also messed up by the incompetent City Council, so no sunbeds or umbrellas for hire. Shame because it used to be beautiful!

Very nice area for evening walk and also great beach although we weren't beaching there. If was clean, not that busy and with great views! The letters of Calpe are a nice place to have a photo at (of course I have had a few). There are also lots of bars and restaurant that you coild choose from for a drink or a meal. Would recommend it, if in the area.

One of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa Blanca. The water is very clean and warm.

Temporarily closed due to problems on stairs, although some people does venture jumping the blockade.

Perfect day start, sun and sea.

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) A small cove that to access it we had to go down the stairs of the path. Of course, the beach has little sand, very quiet, surrounded by vegetation and perfect for snorkeling, it is worth coming equipped with appropriate footwear to avoid problems due to the pebbles, and it does not have any type of service, (Original) Una pequeña Cala que para acceder a la misma tuvimos que bajar por las escaleras del sendero. Eso sí, la playa tiene poca arena, muy tranquila, rodeada de vegetación y perfecta para hacer snorker, vale la pena venir provistos con calzado adecuado para no tener problemas por los cantos rodados, además no cuenta con ningún tipo de servicio,

(Translated by Google) We were expecting a quiet beach, but instead found a very noisy atmosphere. Loud music, groups drinking, and little security. The site has potential, but it's being lost due to the lack of security. We wouldn't go back, at least not during peak season. (Original) Esperábamos una playa tranquila y nos encontramos con un ambiente muy bullicioso. Música alta, grupos bebiendo y poca vigilancia. El sitio tiene potencial, pero se está perdiendo por la falta de control. No repetiríamos, al menos en temporada alta.

(Translated by Google) I really don't know if this cove I'm mentioning is Mallorquí or Les Bassetes. In any case, it is one of the most beautiful and hidden in Calpe. With stone platforms that allow easy access to the water, full of fish, which are perfectly seen snorkeling, and hermit crabs. Little space to put towels, chairs or umbrellas, but people come and go and you can always enjoy a little of this wonderful cove. (Original) Realmente no se si ésta cala que comento, es la Mallorquí o les Bassetes. En cualquier caso, es una de las más bonitas y escondidas de Calpe. Con unas plataformas de piedras que permiten un fácil acceso al agua, repleta de peces, que se ven perfectamente haciendo snorkel y cangrejos ermitaños. Poco espacio para poner toallas, sillas o sombrillas, pero la gente va y viene y siempre se puede disfrutar un poco de ésta maravillosa cala.

(Translated by Google) A very pretty cove. Not too crowded, but not too few either. The water is crystal clear, and we saw lots of fish. (Original) Una cala muy bonita, no ha mucha gente pero tampoco poca. El agua está muy cristalina y hemos visto muchos peces.

Great views and an all around beautiful spot for sightseeing. Only a small area was marked off for swimming likely due to the rocks in the water, careful not to slip! The sand is a bit too coarse for my taste but still glad I came to see it.

Beautiful Cala This is a great spot, a bit harder to reach than some other beaches but so worth it! The water was crystal clear, warm and the bay is really nice. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous sandy beach, although the sand is a little coarse. Kayaks for rent. Beachside bar where you can sit down for food & drinks or takeaway ice creams. Typically busy but with space on the beach, car park often full. There is a shady picnic area with benches. There is a children's play area on the beach. On the coastal path, very short walk to tourist information centre.

Beautiful Cala , it’s very small but is easy to access although not easy to find parking

A free public lagoon type of sand beach. Easily approachable by car, some free parking spots as well on the roadside. Really liked the sand as it was not too fine, therefore didnt get everywhere. There was a lot of dead algae in the water, also a big pile of dried washed out algae on one side of the beach (mid April). Water was colder than at some other beaches, probably because the water was not shallow. Only toilet was of the restaurant's.

Stunning beach well worth the visit and recommended to spend time to relax on the beach. Or do some snorkeling and paddle boarding. Also ideal to start the coastal walk to Calpe.

The beach 🏖 is small but very nice! For families just amazing! The water quality is perfect. I was September 2017 there and it was great place for swimming 🏊 and relaxing.

Great Beach This is a very scenic beach with the view of the Rock. Lots of shops & restaurants around and the beach has all the necessary amenities. Highly recommended!

A long stretch of sand still being cleaned in early November but not many sunbathers though warm enough to sunbathe. Backed by nice promenade.

Lovely beach resort. Sandy beaches and rocky pools. Plenty of places to eat and get snacks. Highly recommend

Great beach with golden sands and to k pools. In summer there are climbing frames and loungers

Great Beach!

Great view to the rock. Clean beach and water.A lot of space.

beautiful view and quiet beach. I recommend

I attend Mass here every Sunday. Sadly I don't speak much Spanish. But a lovely Place to worship and reflect. ♦️🥰

This is a modern church with some beautiful paintings.There is a Sunday Service here held by the Anglican Church.Attended by expats and visitors.Very welcoming and one can go for coffee with others afterwards for a friendly chat.

Nice

It was closed.

(Translated by Google) Parroquia de la Merced, very large and cozy. With ample outdoor parking, the interior is a little smaller. There are several female sculptors in the garden that surrounds the church and therefore make it more joyful to the eye. The interior of the Church is spacious and there are many benches. It is decorated with several beautiful paintings and sculpture. (Original) Parroquia de la Merced, muy grande y acogedora. Con amplio parking exterior, el interior un poco más reducido. Hay varias escultoras en el jardín que rodea la iglesia y por lo tanto la hacen más alegre a la vista. El interior de la Iglesia es amplio y hay muchos bancos. Está decorada con varias pinturas preciosas y escultura.

(Translated by Google) It's well located. It has easy access and very good acoustics. The parish priests are very approachable. Some images of saints should be improved/replaced; they don't inspire devotion and seem more like Fallas ninots. This is said with the greatest respect for the saints and the ninots. Given the obvious lack of funding, an empty space is better. (Original) Está bien situada. Tiene fácil acceso y muy buena acústica. Los párrocos son muy accesibles. A mejorar/cambiar algunas imágenes de santos,no mueven a devoción, más bien parecieran ser ninots falleros, dicho esto con el mayor de los respetos a los santos y a los ninots. Ante la lógica falta de presupuesto más vale un hueco vacío.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church in Calpe, where we can meet Jesus Eucharist! I really liked Father Carlos' homilies! (Original) Bella iglesia de Calpe, donde podemos encontrarnos con Jesús Eucaristía! Me gustaron mucho las homilías del padre Carlos!

Lovely walk a round the lake watching the pink flamingos.

Beautiful pink flamingos. Fantastic view. Very calm atmosphere 👌

Fantastic to watch the wildlife

Beautiful. Lots of wildlife to see.

Nice place for bird watching.

Flamingos in centre of town...great!

(Translated by Google) A natural park, the former Calpe Salt Flats and now a bird observatory, along the 4-km trail that surrounds the park, there are viewing points that allow you to see the flamingo colony and various other birds that inhabit the lagoon without disturbing it. With the Ifach Rock in the background and the buildings of Calpe surrounding it, the walk becomes a delight. And the photographs are spectacular. A truly enjoyable afternoon. It just needs some improvement; the path around the lagoon is neglected, as is the vegetation. Such an important spot in the city shouldn't be so neglected. (Original) Parque natural, antiguas Salinas de Calpe y ahora observatorio de aves, por el sendero que rodea el parque de unos 4 kms hay puntos de avistamiento que permiten ver sin molestar a la colonia de flamencos y de diferentes aves que habitan la laguna. Con el peñón de ifach de fondo y los edificios de Calpe alrededor, el paseo se convierte en una delicia. Y las fotografías son espectaculares. Para pasarse una tarde disfrutando muchísimo. Solo falta que lo acondicionen un poco, el sendero que rodea la laguna esta descuidado y la vegetación igual. Un punto tan importante en la ciudad no debería estar tan abandonado.

(Translated by Google) Wild nature near the urbanization. Very pleasant sensation. (Original) Naturaleza salvaje cerca de la urbanización. Muy agradable la sensación.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful wetland full of flamingos, in Calpe. (Original) Precioso humedal lleno de flamencos, en Calpe.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful nature reserve! We only stopped briefly along the way due to lack of time. Lots of flamingos present just before the September migration. (Original) Mooi natuurgebied! Enkel langs de kant even gestopt wegens tijdsgebrek. Veel flamingos aanwezig net voor de migratie van September

(Translated by Google) Beautiful walk… (Original) Precioso paseo…
