Enjoy a relaxing paddle from Cala Tango and see one of Javea’s most dramatic coastal spots from a new perspective. Renting a kayak gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, uncovering sea caves, quiet bays, and the clear blue waters that make this stretch of coastline so special.
Starting from the small cove at Cala Tango, paddle along the protected coastline that forms part of the San Antonio Natural Marine Reserve. This area is calm, scenic, and teeming with life, offering the perfect environment for relaxed paddling and exploration.
Glide past the cliffs known for their slanted rock layers and pause at Cala del Pope — an isolated bay only reachable by sea. Snorkelling here reveals shoals of colourful fish and sea grass meadows. Those feeling adventurous can stop to try gentle cliff jumps at varying heights, always in clear and deep water.
Further along, the calm section of the reserve allows time to rest, swim, or drift while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. You can tailor the route to suit your mood — whether you prefer a quiet exploration, some time in the water, or a mix of both. The experience is flexible, giving you full control over your time on the water.
Cala Tango sits just outside Javea’s main port area, offering easy access yet retaining a wild feel. The cliffs form a natural barrier that shelters the bay from waves and wind, making it a safe and scenic paddling spot for all experience levels.
From the water, you’ll get a great view of Javea’s coastline, including the Cap de San Antonio lighthouse above. The marine reserve is one of the most protected stretches along the Costa Blanca, with clear water visibility and an abundance of marine species — a true hidden gem for kayaking and snorkelling.

Conditions are checked daily, and if waves or visibility make jumping unsafe, the team will advise against it. Safety always comes first, ensuring a fun and worry-free experience.
Bring swimwear, sunscreen, water, and a light snack if staying out for a few hours. A hat and sunglasses with a strap are also useful. Mobile phones should be stored in waterproof cases, which are available for hire or purchase on-site.
