Route Tips
Below is the Cova dels Orguens where boats can enter. Restaurants with stunning views. Must-stop destination.
It is the easternmost point of the Alicante province and the point on the peninsula closest to the island of Ibiza (barely 80 km away). Here you will find one of Spain's most important lighthouses, built on a 120-meter cliff. It is a geographically key spot that separates the bays of Jávea and Moraira. Below the viewpoint is the famous Cova dels Orguens, a sea cave so large that boats can enter inside. Although the cave is only visible from the sea, from the viewpoint you can feel the force of the waves hitting the base of the cape. There are restaurants in the area where you can eat with breathtaking views. It is a mandatory stop to feel the vastness of the open sea.
Transport
Although some sections can be done on foot, it's best to travel by car or motorcycle as the complete route covers about 20 km.
Best Time
Sunrise at Cape San Antonio and sunset at Punta del Arenal are the most powerful experiences.
Equipment
Bring water, comfortable shoes (some viewpoints have dirt paths) and good binoculars to see the islands and boats.
