The Cala Sardinera (Sardine Cove) in Javea, in the province of Alicante

This photo of the week shows  the Cala Sardinera (Sardine Cove) in Javea,  in the province of Alicante. It is a cove located on the north side of Cabo San Martin, or Cabo Blanco, a natural cove and practically virgin waters, has a length of 500 meters and a width of 5 meters.

In order to get to the Cala Sardinera you need to gain access  by foot from the Mirador de la Cruz del Portitxol on the road to Cabo de la Nao, along a path that passes through a beautiful pine forest with wonderful views.

Although the path is quite long and windy it is definitely worth the walk as you will see if only to experience a swim at such an unfrequented beach in clear waters. It is the ideal place to spend the day with friends, but remember to bring your own picnic as there are no refreshments near by.

Jávea has a great variety of beaches for all tastes, for those who prefer a sandy beach, the most well known is the Playa del Arenal. Jávea also has an abundance of beautiful coves; here we include some links: Cala La Barraca o Portitxol, Cala Granadella Jávea and Playa La Grava Jávea .
