La Fustera proudly flies a Blue Flag and is very popular among families. The calm, clear blue water must have something to do with that. Your children can have a great time in the calm water, while you take in the beautiful view from your beach towel. One activity you should definitely try in La Fustera is snorkeling. The underwater landscape is teeming with seagrass and other forms of marine life!

Cala Els Pinets

The paradise-like Cala Els Pinets is a small sandy and rocky bay about 20 meters long. It is a wonderful place to relax with the whole family, especially if large, crowded beaches are not your thing. The rocks and clear water make Cala Els Pinets a real hotspot for snorkeling. If you prefer to keep your head above water, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the famous Peñon de Ifach rock in Calpe. If you're feeling adventurous and can't sit still, you can take the ecological walking path (Paseo Ecológico) from Cala Els Pinets, which covers the 4 km long coastline of Benissa. You can start from Els Pinets and walk to the ''Mar Morta i Roques Negres,'' a natural pool in the rocks of great geological value. You can park near Cala Els Pinets, but you'll have to walk the last part. There's even a bike rack for those who prefer to cycle to the bay.

Cala de la Llobella

Cala de la Llobella consists of pebbles and rocks and is the most natural and unspoiled bay you will find in Benissa. If you're looking for a beautiful, natural place to spend a quiet day by a crystal-clear sea, Cala de la Llobella is the place to be. It's also a favorite bay for snorkelers and divers who explore the underwater world. You can reach the bay by car, and there is ample parking.

Cala Advocat

Cala Advocat is a bay known for the breakwater that ensures the sea is predominantly calm. On the breakwater, you will even find steps for easy access to the sea.

In the summer season, you can quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger in the local bar. The menu offers a wide selection of drinks and dishes. Don't forget to enjoy the fantastic view in Cala Advocat, with the emblematic Peñon de Ifach rock in the distance and the 47-meter-high El Cantalar cliff on your right.
