Xàbia

Cala Sardinera

Small, secluded gravel cove on the northern slope of Cap Prim or Sant Martí. Access to this beach is on foot from the Creu del Portitxol viewpoint, by way of a path that runs alongside untouched natural surroundings. In the past, it was the prime location for "sardinals”, fine nets that were set twice a day, at sunrise and sunset, hence the origin of its name.

The cove is composed of gravel and pebbles. It has a length of approximately 200 metres, and the occupancy level is low. It is nestled amidst nature, offering a marvellous view of the bay. From this small beach, one can observe the bay of Xàbia, the emblematic mountain of El Montgó, and Cap de Sant Antoni.

This cove does not have any services, which means that there are no lifeguards or maritime rescue options, although the Red Cross does provide assistance during the summer months.

One of the things that sets it apart, despite the lack of services, is that one can enjoy the crystal-clear waters and underwater depths through diving. Light diving is possible, allowing for exploration of the underwater wonders of the cliffs. In terms of swimming or sunbathing, seeing that it is a gravel cove, it is recommended to bring appropriate footwear or a beach mat to lie on.

It is recommended to park vehicles at the Creu del Portitxol viewpoint and to start the short hike to the cove from there. Usually there is no problem with finding a parking space as it is not a place that tends to be crowded.
