South of the Ebro Delta lies Peñíscola, considered one of the most beautiful villages in all of Spain. So, it’s no wonder you’ve decided on this spectacular destination for your vacation. Now, it’s time for you to discover which are the best coves in Peñíscola for a well-deserved dip.
Cala Del Moro in Peniscola
Nature is all you’ll find in this little corner of the Costa Azahar. Don’t worry though, as it’s very easy to access and close to the road. Therefore, you won’t have any problem getting there.
It has several bays characterized by the greenish tone of their waters that contrasts with the black sand and pebbles on the surface. We recommend using water shoes or special footwear to avoid foot discomfort. One of its most favorable points is that, even in high season, it’s not very crowded. However, you should wake up early to get a spot in this beautiful place, as it only has capacity for 15 people!
In addition to cooling off in the water and sunbathing, at Cala del Moro in Peñíscola you can practice snorkeling or be captivated by the views of the castle and the historic center of the city.
Cala Puerto Negro
If you’re looking for coves in Peñíscola where you can practice nudism, this could be a good option for you. Due to how solitary Puerto Negro is, many visitors are encouraged to engage in this practice. Another favorable point of its location is that it’s only 15 minutes away from our apartments.
This cove, with its 150 meters in length, is a tiny environment, but it will impress you. Its natural beauty is presided over by blue and clear waters, grey pebbles, rocks, and lush vegetation.
If you’re encouraged to visit this spot for swimming or water activities, keep in mind that the water entry is somewhat steep and the bottom is rocky.
Cala Puerto Azul in Peniscola
With 320 square meters, Cala Puerto Azul in Peniscola is another fantastic alternative for experiencing a summer full of relaxation and exclusivity. It’s very close to Cala del Moro, so you can alternate between them during your stay in this town of Castellón.
This small beach lacks sand and is completely formed of pebbles (small flat stones), so don’t forget to pack your water shoes in your suitcase. Your feet will thank you!
It receives sun for almost the entire day, so it’s a great place to improve your tan and spend a pleasant time enjoying the summer atmosphere and the Mediterranean Sea.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that in this cove dogs are welcome, a fantastic detail if you’re planning to bring your best friend on the trip with you. They’ll surely love cooling off in this place.
Cala l’Arjub
Blue-green waters, sand, rocks, and vegetation make up this natural environment. Undoubtedly, a wonder for the eyes and the rest of the senses. It’s framed by the Sierra de Irta, which adds even more spectacle to this cove and makes it one of the most beautiful.
To get here, there are only two methods: on foot or by bicycle. So, as you can imagine, it’s a quite quiet and solitary area, perfect for enjoying the peace and tranquility that you so much need after the routine. A good plan that we recommend during your stay in Peñíscola is to take a route through the mountain area and stop at this cove to rest and enjoy the sun and sea. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
Cala Argilaga
We finish the list with Cala Argilaga, the farthest from the center of Peñíscola. In fact, it’s very close to Alcossebre, the neighboring town, but it’s totally worth coming to visit.
Here you can bring out your most adventurous side. This natural landscape has various caves where you can become a real explorer. However, if playing Indiana Jones isn’t your thing, you can simply use them as a very practical shelter from the sun.
In addition to caves and rock formations, it features crystal-clear waters, light-colored sand, and, like the rest of the coves we’ve mentioned, there are pebbles. Have we told you yet to bring water shoes?
This cove covers an area of 480 square meters, very quiet and with low occupancy. You won’t have any problem accessing it, as it’s close to the road and has a parking area. All conveniences!
The coves of Peñíscola are a true wonder. If you’re eager to set foot in them, we invite you to discover our accommodation options. At Orangecosta, we offer you the opportunity to spend the summer of your life in our holiday apartments. Book now!
