What to do at Granadella Beach?

There are multiple local tour companies that offer guided kayak and paddle board experiences of the surrounding caves and beaches, using Granadella as the starting point ( SiestaAdvisor and Kayak Javea to name a couple! ). From personal experience, these are an amazing way to explore the parts of Javea you would never normally get a chance to see. There is also a hiking trail starting from the parking, that leads all the way up to ‘El Castell de la Granadella or The Castle of Granadella’, the remains of an old historic coastal defence post. We think it’s definitely worth a visit!
