Fanadix, located in the Valencia Province, offers a charming coastal experience centered around the town of Benissa. While Fanadix itself is a peaceful residential area, it serves as an ideal base for exploring a string of picturesque coves, or 'calas', dotted along the Benissa coastline. These coves are typically intimate, often featuring pebbles or rocks, and are renowned for their crystal-clear waters and tranquil atmosphere, nestled amongst pine trees and cliffs. This makes the area particularly appealing for those seeking a relaxing holiday away from bustling tourist hotspots.
Among the local gems, Cala Baladrar in Benissa is a picturesque pebble cove offering stunning views and clear waters perfect for snorkeling. For those seeking dramatic scenery, Cala del Moraig, located in nearby Benitatxell with its impressive cliffs and the famous Cova dels Arcs, is a must-see. While many coves are pebbly, Benissa also offers sandy stretches like the popular Playa La Fustera, known for its fine sand and family-friendly environment. These spots showcase the natural beauty characteristic of this coastal stretch.
Beyond Benissa's immediate coves, the iconic shell-shaped bay of Cala El Portet in nearby Moraira offers calm, turquoise waters ideal for families. Also in Moraira, Platja de l'Ampolla stands out as the town's largest and most vibrant sandy beach, located conveniently next to the town center. Whether you prefer a secluded pebble cove or a more active sandy beach, the region provides diverse options.
