From this location you can visit many well-known resorts such as Denia, Moraira and Calpe, as well as being able to drive into the mountains and explore unspoilt Spanish villages with spectacular views.
Javea has the old town, the port area, and the more modern El Arenal beach area that each provide a selection of shops, restaurants and other attractions. There is a long beach of Toscar stone as well as pebble beaches and a sandy bay. In the summer the beach bars and the market stalls at El Arenal provide an interesting atmosphere to enjoy on a stroll or just sitting around well into the night. Each Thursday is the local market with an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruit as well as CDs, perfumes, clothes, bags, toys, etc. etc. There are two excellent golf courses near Javea and the town also has its fair share of Fiestas throughout the year that are always an enjoyable occasion.
