Mouth of the Molinell River

Highlight • River

At this point there is a footbridge to cross the Molinell River just before it flows into the sea. The high step allows you to better see the union of the river and sea landscapes. Therefore it is also an ideal point to access the beach.

Via Verde de Dénia – Bridge over the Alberca River

Highlight • Cycleway

A beautiful section of this route, well-maintained and very easy to cycle. The landscape is very flat, so progress is quick. The Vía Verde de Dénia follows a former railway line through a diverse landscape. The renovated bridge is a silent witness to the old railway line that once connected Dénia with Carcaixent and is now a landmark along the route. For cyclists, it is not only a safe crossing but also an ideal place for a short break to enjoy the tranquil scenery.

Cap de Sant Antoni Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The lighthouse that overlooks the bay from Cap de Sant Antoni was the successor to other defensive structures that took advantage of the privileged location of the plain. Hermits built the chapel of San Antonio in the 14th century to isolate themselves from secular life. It was built in his honor and eventually gave the relief its name. A watchtower to protect against pirate raids was also built on this ground, which later gave way to the current lighthouse. This viewpoint is without a doubt one of the most privileged locations on the Valencian coast.

Las Rotas Beach

Highlight • Beach

On this side of Denia, there are some small beaches, but they're less accessible and have a lot of aquatic plants. (On the other side of Denia, there are large, clean beaches.)

Dénia Harbour

Highlight • Structure

The port of Denia is considered the second most important port on the Costa Blanca after Alicante. Ferries to the Balearic Islands depart regularly from here. Ibiza is only 55 nautical miles away, Formentera 60 nautical miles, and Mallorca 128 nautical miles away. The city's fishing port is also located here. Around 700 crates of fish are auctioned daily in the "Fish Market," and freshly caught sea fish can be purchased every afternoon.

In addition to the city harbor, the harbor area also houses two other marinas that are very popular with sailors and yacht owners: the "Club Nautico" and "The New Harbor." Completed in 2004, the new harbor offers over 1,000 berths for sailors, pleasure craft, and large private yachts. Many pleasant bars, restaurants, and chill-out lounges invite you to relax. Spend the afternoon or evening here and watch the hustle and bustle of the harbor and the ships and ferries coming and going.

Port of Dénia

Highlight • Structure

It is the main port connecting the peninsula and the Balearic Islands. It combines a modern leisure marina with a bustling fish market (famous for its red prawns) at the foot of the city's castle.
