Jávea's coastline stretches for 25 km from the sheer high rugged cliffs of Cabo de San Antonio to the sandy Arenal beach and beyond to Cabo de la Nao, the most easterly point in Spain.

To the West is the wide valley of the river Gorgos, which crosses the area from West to East.

Jávea still has a thriving fishing fleet and the port also boasts a sizeable Yacht Club and boat yard.
