Cala Blanca
A small horseshoe-shaped cove, almost a natural pool, named for the whitish colour of its cliff rocks. An arm of rock juts into the sea like a barrier, so its waters tend to be calm and crystal-clear, perfect for snorkelling; it is reached after a short walk along the shore.
Cala Blanca is a small horseshoe-shaped cove, almost a natural pool, named for the whitish colour of its cliff rocks. It is one of the most sheltered bathing spots in Xàbia.
What makes it special
An arm of rock juts into the sea like a barrier, and that keeps the water inside the cove calm and crystal-clear, even when there is more swell outside. That stillness and the clean bottom make it a good place for snorkelling.
How to get there
It is reached after a short walk along the shore, so pack light. It is not a sandy beach but one of rock and pebbles.
- Bring water shoes and a snorkel mask.
- There is little shade: hat, water and sunscreen.
To string swims together, the nearby Cala del Portitxol has the same clean-water-and-rock feel, with its white houses facing the islet.
