Coast/Beach:
La Granadella – A beautiful pebble beach nestled in a cove and surrounded by pine trees. This amazing beach is accessible by car on a road that winds its way through pine forests – a lovely 5 minute drive from the house.
Beach Facilities: Granadella is home to the Javea Sailing Club and offers good diving. There are good facilities for the disabled, toilets and showers, parking, the Red Cross, Lifeguards, public telephones, restaurants and beach bars.
The World Health Organization accredited "blue-flag beach", El Arenal is only a 10 minute drive. The sand is very soft and the slope into the sea is very gentle so it's a great place for introducing kids to swimming in the sea. There is a diving platform about 100 metres into the sea which is great for a more challenging swim than just paddling about in the shallows and lets you have a rest when you get there.
In the summer the Javea council put on open-air cinema screenings on the beach. The beach is well served by public showers and toilet facilities, life guards and a Red Cross station.
