The 9 most beautiful kayak routes along the Costa Blanca
The 9 most beautiful kayak routes along the Costa Blanca 🚣♂️🌊
Looking for something different this summer on the Costa Blanca?
If you’re in the mood for more than just sunbathing with a cold beer in hand (though hey, that’s great too 😎), here’s an idea: grab a kayak and set off to explore the most mind-blowing hidden coves on the Costa Blanca. No need to be a pro — just bring your sense of adventure 🚀
🚣♂️ Kayaking along the Costa Blanca is like unlocking a natural treasure chest: you’ll paddle into mysterious sea caves, discover secret beaches you won’t find on Google Maps, and swim in crystal-clear turquoise waters teeming with marine life 🐠.
If you want to uncover the most beautiful and hidden spots on the coast, your best bet is to join a guided kayak tour in Moraira or Jávea. You’ll visit secret coves, stunning sea caves, and make sure you don’t miss a thing 🗺️🚣♀️🌊

Here are 9 kayak routes that will leave you speechless (and ready to come back with friends 😜):
1.🧙♂️ Cova Tallada (Dénia – Javea). A massive sea cave carved into the cliffs — it feels straight out of The Lord of the Rings. Paddle along the coast until you enter this incredible cave by sea. Absolutely epic.
2.🐠 Granadella to Cala en Caló (Javea). Start at the stunning Granadella Beach, and kayak your way to a hidden cove only accessible by sea. Expect sea caves, cliff jumps, and Caribbean-like turquoise water 🏝️. Note: In summer, car access to Cala Granadella is restricted.
3.🌋 Portitxol Island and Cova dels Òrguens (Javea). This one’s for true explorers. Paddle around Portitxol Island, then venture into a giant marine grotto filled with stalactites. A jaw-dropping spot for photos—and the echo is wild!

4.🧜♀️ Cala Tangó (Jávea). Small, hidden, and totally peaceful. Perfect for relaxing, snorkeling, and unwinding. If you’re going with your partner, it’s 100% romantic 💘.
5.🐾 From El Portet to Cala Llebeig (Moraira). A great route for a chilled day with friends. Paddle along cliffs, deserted coves, and even pass a beach bar or two. When you arrive, the crystal-clear water is so pure you can see the bottom without goggles.
6.🧜♂️ Cala Moraig and the magical fault (Benitachell). There’s an underwater marine fault here — like a giant crack in the sea. Paddle over it by kayak and go snorkeling on top. It’s pure underwater fantasy.

7.🌅 Moraira to Calpe (long but beautiful route). For the brave with arms of steel 💪. Start in Moraira, paddle along the entire wild coastline, and end up in Calpe. You’ll pass stunning coves, dramatic cliffs, and the iconic Peñón de Ifach looming closer with every stroke.
8.🦅 Peñón de Ifach (Calpe). Kayaking around this massive limestone rock feels like gliding beside a mountain in the sea. It’s huge, surrounded by seagulls, and hides some cool sea caves. You’ll feel tiny—in the most epic way possible.
9.🕶️ Cabo de la Huerta (Alicante city). Perfect for those who prefer something chill and nearby. Grab a kayak in San Juan, and cruise gently past hidden coves along the urban coastline. At sunset, it’s simply breathtaking.

🌊 Why is kayaking along the Costa Blanca so special?
Because here, the sea isn’t just for swimming… it’s for exploring!
✨ The cliffs of Jávea and Moraira look like something out of a nature documentary.
🏝️ There are beaches and hidden coves you can only reach by kayak or paddleboard (which already makes them special).
🧘♀️ You’re immersed in pure nature, with no noise, no crowds. Just you, the sea, and the rocks.
📸 And the photos come out amazing! Every spot is totally Instagram-friendly.
Whether you go at sunrise, with calm waters and the sun rising behind the Peñón de Ifach, or at sunset surrounded by seagulls, kayaking here isn’t just a sport — it’s a perfect plan to disconnect, enjoy, and be blown away by the natural beauty.

👉 Tips before you dive in:
And of course… don’t forget your snorkel gear! 🤿
Bring plenty of water (yes, even if you’re packing some beers 🍺).
Use sunscreen, or you’ll end up redder than a shrimp 🦐.
It’s essential to book in advance, especially in Jávea (some spots require permits and have limited tourist capacity).
Wear a hat, sunglasses, swimsuit, and don’t forget your towel.
If you’re not a pro at paddling, go for a guided tour (and let someone else do the hard work 😅).
