What to do in Dénia

Dénia occupies the northern tip of the Alicante Costa Blanca, beneath the outline of the Montgó, a 753-metre limestone massif designated as a Natural Park. The mountain visually dominates the municipality and provides the setting for hiking and climbing: the Barranc de l'Infern route, one of the most visited in the Valencian Community, descends from the park's heights to the shoreline through a deep gorge with springs and vertical walls. The Montgó's faces host limestone climbing sectors with routes for all levels. The sea in front of Dénia combines the high coastline of Les Rotes, with rocky coves accessible by kayak or paddleboard, with the protected waters of the Illes Columbretes Maritime-Terrestrial Natural Park, a few hours by boat, where volcanic seabed and marine biodiversity make diving a high-quality experience. Sailing and windsurfing find stable wind conditions in Dénia's port and the Les Marines bay. Sea kayak routes around the Cap de Sant Antoni allow exploration of sea caves and posidonia seagrass meadows.
