The Costa Blanca has a large number of snorkelling areas rich in marine life.

Expert diver Rafa Martos has published a pioneering guide in Spain that includes 53 snorkelling routes. The selected trails are not crowded and can be discovered just by swimming peacefully around. Find them in Denia, Javea, Benitatxell, Teulada-Moraira, Benissa, Calpe, Altea, Benidorm, La Vila Joiosa, El Campello, Alicante, Tabarca or Santa Pola.

To discover these amazing underwater landscapes and the many surprises they hold, all you have to do is put on your diving goggles, dive in and open your eyes wide.

Turisme Comunitat Valenciana has launched the project “Danza de Drones”

The purpose of the project is to promote the Costa Blanca through the social networks of Turisme Comunitat Valenciana through a series of mini-documentaries of drone recordings that capture unpublished images of tourist destinations on the Costa Blanca such as the Island of Tabarca or the cliffs of the Serra Gelada of Benidorm.

Other videos of this first season capture the 6,000 steps of La Vall de Laguar route and the Castillo de Xàtiva, as well as a spectacular timelapse shot in the “Parque de Cabecera of Valencia”.

Nobody should escape the attraction and the charm that the Tabarca Island exerts from the sea. Although the islands are by definition enclaves that cost us to reach, the island returns us with effort, because in very few square meters it collects the essence of a part of our history and in it, time seems to stop or jump to the past when we turn a corner.

The island, or rather the sea that surrounds it, constitutes a marine reserve of great value that helps to preserve the most valuable fisheries for future generations. Sport diving is another possibility, always complying with current regulations.

The tour of the island on foot is a delight that can be tried once and so, with the toned body and appetite awake, letting yourself be wanting for any of the many places that end up conquering us from the smells of the always fresh and abundant local fishing.

The south cove is located on the other side of the small port where the boats coming from Alicante or Santa Pola come mainly; the barges make the entertaining crossing of the barely five kilometers that separate the island from the coast. You can also use the fast and always efficient boat-taxis, which from Santa Pola make the trip in very small groups and more familiar environment than the temporarily crowded barges.

During the summer there are many establishments where you can taste the always tasty squid, sardines or, of course, the traditional rock fish rices where rice reserves the essence of our Mediterranean.

The beach is small and protected and, by its orientation, generally of calm and crystalline, blue-green waters.
