One of the best beaches in Calpe
While most visitors head for the famous beaches of Arenal-Bol and La Fossa, I'd like to suggest the small beach of Cantal Roig located just south of the Calpe fishing port and the magnificient Peñon de Ifach. The easiest way to get there is just by following the seaside promenade north from Arenal-Bol Beach and you'll find it just before the port.
The beach itself is much smaller that Calpe's two main beaches, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm. The beach is based around two small and shallow bays which are basically like swimming pools thanks to the light sand and crystal-clear waters. Also, the beach isn't nearly as crowded as the other two so you'll have no problem finding a nice spot in the sun.
The beach is especially recommendable if you're traveling with kids. First of all, the two little bays are shallow for a considerable distance so the youngsters will have plenty of space to play. Also, the bays are divided by rocks which create tide pools which that were a hit among the kids we saw there. Even if you're not traveling with kids, the crystalline waters and unparalleled views of the monolithic Peñon de Ifach make it, in my opinion, one of the best beaches in Calpe.
