Personally, Cala Blanca is one of my favourite beaches in Javea. It’s a hidden gem of a beach with its own natural beauty and unique layout. It’s a far quieter beach than the Arenal or the Javea Port beach, which also makes it rather peaceful.
Cala Blanca is a stony beach, so I recommend bringing protective footwear which you can get in many of the shops around the area.
This guide will help you navigate the two distinct coves that make up this stunning location and have one of the best beach days during your time in Javea.
Getting to Cala Blanca:
Cala Blanca is easy to get to in a car and will take about 5 mins from the Arenal beach. There is some parking there – although it can be busier during the summer season. You may have to park further up the road near the apartment blocks, but parking is free so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
If you’re travelling in a car, drive on Avenida de la Libertat, which will lead you to Avenida de Ultramar. You’ll then spot the car park and entrance to Cala Blanca. Otherwise, it’s also a 25-minute walk from the Arenal beach.
Cala Blanca is divided into two coves, each with their own charm and features.
Cove 1
This first cove of Cala Blanca is around 100 metres long, and is enclosed as you can see by its oval shape.
The first cove is a short walk from the car park. This is ideal for families and those seeking easier access to the sea. This is the entrance when you park up, you only need to walk forward where the pavement is, to reach the first cove.
Due to the layout of the beach, Cala Blanca is a suitable beach for those with small children, as the sea is calm and mostly free of strong currents and waves.
Cove 1 has stairs which lead directly into the sea, which can be helpful for those needing assistance such as elderly or small children. Do bear in mind that Cala Blanca is a stony beach so I recommend protective footwear to ensure a comfortable visit.
From Cove 1, you can walk to Cove 2. On your way to the second cove, you’ll encounter an iconic arch with a hole in it, providing a perfect photo opportunity! The area offers breathtaking views of the Montgo mountain in the distance, making it an Instagram-worthy spot that’s sure to impress your followers (if you want stunning sunset photos, visit around 7.30pm – 8pm!).
You’ll see other similar structures as you walk to the next cove.
Cove 2
The second cove is also 100 metres in length, and is more open and offers more expansive views than the previous cove. It’s located further away from the car park.
The shoreline of this bay is also rocky, with steep white cliffs surrounding part of the bay. gives Cala Blanca its name – literally meaning White Bay or White Mountains.
This cove stands out for its:
- Prettier views compared to other local beaches
- Rocky terrain (bring protective footwear and comfortable seating)
- Excellent snorkelling opportunities
The shallow entrance gradually leads to deeper water, which makes it ideal if you want to snorkel, so don’t forget your goggles! On days with clear water, you can observe schools of fish and vibrant coral reefs.
It’s a great place to relax and bask in the sun, and watch the moored boats in the distance. There’s a fair amount of areas to sit, although this the area is made up of mostly rocky terrain. Make sure to bring towels, or comfortable seating such as a portable deck chair.
You’ll be sure to see many boats moored in the distance due to how beautiful the area is. We’ve got a whole guide on renting boats in Javea if you want to do this yourself!
Best time to visit Cala Blanca
In my experience, the best time to visit Cala Blanca is when the air is cooler, either early in the morning at around 9am or 10am, or later in the day just after 6pm when the sun is beginning to set.
Tips for visitors:
- Wear protective footwear due to the rocky terrain in both coves
- Bring comfortable seating (deckchairs recommended for Cove 2)
- Bring water to keep hydrated throughout your visit, especially on hot days!
- Visit in the morning or early evening to avoid peak temperatures
