Calpe offers a bit of everything. Start your day walking the promenade along Playa de la Fossa or relaxing on Arenal-Bol beach. Then take on the famous Peñón de Ifach, a natural park and hiking route with unbeatable coastal views from the top.

Love the water? You can go kayaking, paddleboarding, or sailing from Calpe’s marina. There are also diving centres and fishing excursions if you’re looking to get out on — or under — the water.

Our tip: Climb Peñón de Ifach early in the morning to beat the heat and the crowds — it’s a must-do for nature lovers!
