Afterwards, take a stroll along the seafront, discovering places like Cantal Roig Beach and the breathtaking Baños de la Reina.

And right next to the pools is Molí del Morelló Tower, which is calling out to be explored. 

More activities in Calp include visiting the port and El Racó Cove, a delightful cove sitting in the shadow of the gigantic Peñón de Ifach. From this bay you can take an ecological walk and an underwater route, which is open in high season, marked by information buoys.
