BAY GUIDE
Gastronomy
The most traditional dish in the area is paella and fideuà (I personally prefer fideuà better).
Over here you have a very good quality-price relation. I love the atmosphere of this place.
There are more places to order paella or fideuà, but they are a little more expensive, and the quality is the same.

Swimming Spots
It's my favourite cove to have a swimm. It's just 400m away from home. There's few people and the water is absolutly clean. It's perfect to practice snorkel or have a sunbathe. It's a must to wear water shoes. Remember that you can use the beach chairs you have home.

I think this is the most beautiful cove in Javea. Open access by car until 9:00 a.m. If you arrive later, you can leave the car before the gate and there is a free shuttle that takes you down to the cove and then returns you to the car (it passes every 30 min approx). Rocky beack, take water shoes.
You have restaurants downstairs to eat. I recommend that you look on Google and book where ever you want.

Here you can only go by car. It has SPECTACULAR views, and we cannot leave behind the houses that are there. If you are fit (not recommended to go with small children), there is a cove below that can be accessed only by foot. There is a lot of slope, going down is easy, but to go up you have to be fit. The entrance to the water is jumping from a cliff (2m high). You have to climb the rock to get out of the water, there is a rope that helps you to get out. It is the preferred place of climbers. It’s necesery to take water proof shoes to get in the water, and sports shoes to get to the cove.

SIESTA
The "siesta" or nap after lunch was invented in Spain. I'm sure you'll understand way, after eating a good paella by the beach. Just remember to avoid getting a sleep under the sun.
Some shops close at lunch time and open back in the afternoon
