This lovely town is situated on the most easterly point of Spain and has been voted environmentally near perfect by the World Health Organization. It sits midway between Alicante and Valencia, approximately 100k from each.

There are 15 points of outstanding natural beauty in the area, known as the Miradores. The views from these are breathtaking. Coastal walks here are very popular and feature 45 km of lovely trails
The principal beach in Javea is the Arenal. Here you will find a gently sloping bay of golden sand, perfect for families, flanked by a pedestrian promenade of restaurants, bars and beach shops. There is also ample parking nearby.
The port area has shingle beaches and a real traditional feel. You can stroll along to see the fishing boats bringing in their catch of the day. Many of the restaurants here reflect this in their menu. There are several small boutiques here and a small local cinema. You can also take lunch at the Club Nautico beside all the expensive yachts.
The old town (the 'Pueblo') is the historical centre of Javea and has narrow, winding streets overlooked by the beautiful 16th century church. At the Thursday weekly market you can buy everything from fresh vegetables and fruit to shoes and toys.
There is plenty of opportunity to engage in various water sports in the area, with sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and parascending. On dry land, you can enjoy cycling, tennis, go karting, eating and drinking!
All in all, this is a wonderful place to have a holiday.
