Discovering the Coastal Wonders Near Valencia

This tour is designed to give you a full day exploring some of the most beautiful and less crowded spots along the Valencian coast. Starting with a drive from Valencia (just over an hour), you’ll head toward the area between Javea and Denia—an area renowned for its unspoiled beaches and rugged cliffs. The journey alone already hints at the scenic beauty ahead.

Once you arrive, the highlight begins with a spectacular 4 km cliff walk. We loved the way this trail offers amazing views of the Mediterranean, stretching 120 meters above the sea—a perfect vantage point for photos and to truly appreciate the coastline’s wild beauty. The trail is relatively easy but features some steeper sections that lead down to the beaches, so you’ll want to have a normal fitness level to enjoy it fully.

The Cliff Trail and Secluded Beaches

The trail itself is a fascinating mixture of natural scenery and historical remnants. As you stroll, you’ll notice partially remaining stone walls, which served as refuges or caves for fishermen in the past. It’s these touches of history combined with the landscape that make the walk more engaging. The trail ends at Cala Llebeig, a rocky, secluded beach accessible only by foot. According to reviews, this beach is notably more tranquil than others in the area, making it perfect for a quick swim or a quiet moment of relaxation.

The beach’s seclusion is a significant plus—it’s less crowded, and with the surrounding cliffs, it feels like you’ve discovered a hidden gem. Keep in mind that the descent to the beach involves some steep sections, so be sure you’re comfortable with walking on uneven terrain. The water here is calm and clear, ideal for a refreshing dip if the weather is warm.

Exploring Cala Moraig and Its Sea Cave

Next on the itinerary is Cala Moraig, a stunning spot with turquoise waters and high cliffs. The small pebbly beach is surrounded by dramatic rock formations, and you’ll have the opportunity to explore an interesting sea cave. This part of the trip is especially popular, and many visitors find that the caves and cliffs make for incredible photo opportunities. It’s a good stop for a bit of exploration and, if you’re up for it, some more time in the water.

Lunch with a View

After all that walking and beach time, you’ll head to a cliff-top restaurant for some well-earned lunch. The menu includes local food, with options like paella—a classic Spanish dish that’s often the highlight of many visitors’ days. The restaurant offers spectacular views, making the meal as much a visual treat as a culinary one. If you’re visiting during warmer months, you might even want to take a quick dip before heading back, so don’t forget your swimwear.
