The cozy old center of Javea is worth a walk a few hours in the morning. Just walking around and admiring the whitewashed Gothic-style buildings is an experience in itself. Have a look at the gothic church of San Bartolome, and visit the busy food market with its stalls full of fresh fish and fruit and vegetables from the region. The old town of Javea is still very Spanish. Around the late Middle Aged Cathedral, the historic quarters of the city cluster together, with house façades drawn with flowers in colourful pottery pots. People live their daily lives in the narrow streets, hardly accessible for anything but mopeds.
Playa de Arenal is the sandy beach area of Javea. It is a chilled area stretching more than 300m from the well located at the famous Parador in the north. In this area there are many cafes, bars and restaurants. The beach itself is fabulous with superb fine golden sand. There is a volleyball net along the back of the beach which is popular later in the day and there are plenty of play areas for the kids.
The beach is on the outskirts of the city at the bottom of a steep and cobbled forest road. If you are lucky and find a car park, you can enjoy the beach life and the little tavernas as evening falls. Granadella Beach is one of Spain’s most beautiful bathing spots!
Further south you will find Cala de la Barraca, a rocky beach with crystal clear waters and ‘la Isla del Portichol’ which is just a few kilometers outside of Jávea. Further south you will reach small, hidden coves and beaches, all with an exceptional beauty.
Experience the beautiful harbour of Javea. Today, most ports in the tourist areas have become trendy marinas with exclusive shopping shops, but not the harbour in Javea.

Although it has only 9 holes, many of the holes are played from different tees that make it virtually an 18 hole course. Although the golf course is not very long, it is challenging.
