 Under the attentive gaze of the highest cliff on the Mediterranean, the Peñón de Ifach, Calpe has grown on both sides of the Great Rock, symbol and image of the Costa Blanca. It has been a tourist destination since the 30s due, especially, to the quality of its beaches, their fine sand and the cleanliness of their waters. The municipality preserves vestiges of the past in its old town, and curiosities such as the ruins of the Baños de la Reina, and some abandoned salt mines. Its fishing port is full of vitality, where restaurants serve the local fish and seafood. With small, rocky coves and wide, urban, fine sandy beaches, Calpe has a wide variety of attractive coastline where transparent waters are the order of the day. 

Its beautiful, peaceful coves include Les Bassetes, to the north - a natural shelter that provides perfect conditions for learning to sail and an interesting sea bed carpeted with underwater plants perfect for divingr. The local diving club and sailing school ensure safe conditions for both activities. La Fossa and El Arenal beaches offer a bustling contrast with a complete range of services, well-cared for promenade and summer rental facilities for windsurf, pedal boats and jet ski equipment. The activities also include the yacht club's sailing school, the diving centre at Puerto Blanco and a golf club, all overlooked by the enormous rock 332 metres high - the Peñón de Ifach nature reserve: a challenge for all rock climbing enthusiasts.
