The beach area known as Les Rotes extends along the southern coast of Dénia. It is composed of the following beaches:
La Platja de La Marineta Cassiana, a beach located south of Dénia, is the closest one to the town centre. It is a sandy beach that has been awarded the Bandera Azul (Blue Flag) distinction several times. It has lifeguard and rescue services, as well as facilities adapted for people with mobility impairments.
The sea of this beach stands out for being almost always calm thanks to the proximity of the port's breakwater and because it has a second breakwater that closes off the bay.
The water is shallow, making it an ideal destination for families with young children and for elderly people, as it is one of the quietest coves along Dénia’s coastline.
La Platja del Trampolí is a rocky beach with an approximate length of one kilometre. It gets its name from the wooden diving board installed on one of the rocks, which is still used by bathers to this day.
It is recommended to wear appropriate footwear both for walking on the large rocks as well as for entering the water.
La Platja de La Punta Negra is a particularly beautiful beach due to its clear waters and the contrast between the intense blue of the Mediterranean and the brown colour of the rocks. It is located in the area of Les Rotes, around kilometre 2.1 along the road. It is a rocky cove with an approximate length of 1.4 km, accessed through the pedestrian promenade of Les Rotes. There is a lifeguard on duty during the day.
It is recommended to visit this beach area with suitable footwear, both for walking outside as well as when swimming in the water.
La Platja de Les Arenetes, also known as the End of Les Rotes, is a small beach with a length of only 300 metres. It can get somewhat crowded during the summer months and is located within the so-called Reserva Marina del Cap de Sant Antoni (the Marine Reserve of the Cape of Sant Antoni).
La Cala Nudista, or the nudist cove, has an extension of 100 to 180 metres and is a rocky cove that can only be accessed on foot, as it is hidden from sight and can only be reached by descending a set of stairs.
The Cap de Sant Antoni Marine Reserve is classified as a “Site of Community Interest with a Microreserve of Flora in the Marine Bottom”.
