Coves in Benissa: choose your favorite

The Marina Alta offers countless areas of outstanding beauty that invite you to have a relaxing holiday. Today we want to specifically talk about the coves in Benissa, one of those towns that, in addition to these beautiful beaches, offers good food, incredible views, and many more activities to enjoy. Would you like to discover them?

Top 5 coves in Benissa

1. La Fustera

We start with one of the most famous and best rated by visitors. La Fustera is a fine sandy beach, very comfortable for spending the day. It has all the services you might need on a beach, from lifeguard and Red Cross, to an amphibious chair for those who need it.

There is also a picnic area, public toilets, showers and it can be reached by car, as there is a parking lot nearby. However, you can also get there conveniently by bus, avoiding car congestion, especially in high season.

2. Cala Baladrar

This is also one of the coves in Benissa that visitors like the most, since, thanks to its shape and how it’s surrounded by cliffs, it is protected from east winds. You can enjoy a very peaceful day!

We are talking about a rocky beach, so you'll need to bring suitable footwear. There is a small parking lot available, but remember that in high season it can be challenging to find a spot. Additionally, you’ll enjoy wonderful views of Peñón de Ifach, which is visible from this area. Lifeguard service is also available, typically from June to September, as in most cases.

3. Cala Advocat

Protected by the breakwater, which has a staircase leading down to the sea, we find this beautiful and tiny cove in Benissa. Thanks to the breakwater, waves are not the main feature, making it perfect for going with children. You can also snorkel or simply enjoy swimming in a small area of sand and rocks.

The cove has a small parking lot, so finding parking at certain times can be difficult again. However, you will find large restaurants to enjoy the local cuisine.

4. Cala la Llobella

Contrary to the previous case, this is one of the coves in Benissa that is not recommended to visit with children, because access is not easy, and you need to cross some rocky areas where falls could occur.

For this reason, it’s necessary to wear appropriate footwear to enjoy the area peacefully without slipping. Although it’s not very comfortable for lying down due to the rocks, it is one of the most tranquil because few people know about it, and snorkeling here is a real luxury.

5. Cala Pinets

Next to the previous area, we find Cala Pinets, which gets its name as it is a corner of great beauty surrounded by pines. You will find a small rocky area and another of sand, so you can choose based on your preference and the crowd present.

One of the most striking features of the cove is its beautiful views of Peñón de Calpe, which is also visible from here. Also, keep in mind there is a small parking lot nearby if needed.

This cove in Benissa marks the end of our article, as well as the route known as Paseo Ecológico de Benissa, a charming trail from which you can see the previously mentioned coves.

As you can see, there are many activities you can enjoy in the area, from diving, relaxing swims, spending the day at the beach, charming walks, to enjoying good Mediterranean cuisine. If you also wish to enjoy accommodation that meets your expectations, we offer rental of a vacation home in Benissa on villasguzman.com that will not leave you indifferent.

Furthermore, excellent transport links will allow you not only to discover the best coves in Benissa but also to visit other towns to enjoy their beaches, such as those in Calpe or bathing areas in Altea. In any case, the Marina Alta area will be delighted to host you!
