What to visit and things to do in Calpe

This would be the first plan that anyone would tell you (although there are many more). But the fact is that the Peñón is present from any point of the town and its sea. And of course, the climb to the Peñón de Ifach is well worth it. It is a pleasant walk during which you will enjoy amazing views and it is free of charge!

Kayak excursion to Morro de Toix

This is another plan in your search for what to see in Calpe or what to do in Calpe. During your sea kayaking trip, you will enjoy the waters and the beautiful scenery.
The Morro de Toix is a spot situated between Altea and Calpe, and from here you can enjoy great and beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea.
We, as good adventurers in the area, recommend you to rent a kayak in Calpe and make your own sea excursion there. The total duration of the excursion will be 3 hours. Little by little, and at your own pace.

What to see in Calpe

A day out of the water in the old town and one of the wineries

Calpe is a coastal town, and it is clear that its main attraction is the sea. But we can't forget to visit the old town, because this is one of the most pleasant things to see in Calpe.

When you arrive in the old town, you will be greeted by 15th century city walls, alongside which you can see the Peça Tower. This tower was the defence tower of the time. Inside, the houses are colourfully painted and the narrow streets are charming.

When you finish your stroll through the old town, we recommend that you go to a winery to enjoy the local wine, which we must not forget that Calpe and the surrounding area has very good vineyards.

We recommend that you go to the Bodegas Enrique Mendoza Alfaz, as it is close to Calpe and has very good reviews, and it is not surprising, as it is a very complete and interesting activity.

And to finish this day away from the sea, if you still have the strength, a walk through the old town of Altea and dinner in a restaurant in the square. You can go to sleep knowing that you have spent the day in the best possible way, enjoying yourself.

Do a diving baptism in the Peñón Ifach

Another thing you must do in Calpe is, without a doubt, a baptism in the Peñón de Ifach. Here is an idea of where you can make your reservation so that you don't run out of places, as this activity is in great demand. The team will give you all the equipment you need to do the dive. This is the best way to discover the flora and fauna of the seabed of Calpe.

Visiting coves by boat

If you are staying in Calpe, we want you to know that there are many coves around Calpe, in towns like Benissa, Moraira, Benitatxell, Altea, etc... So we recommend 100% that you move to them. You can go by car, or even better, if it's Benissa or Altea by kayak. And if you want it even better, by boat. In our search engine you will be able to find more excursions and activities to do in Calpe.

You also have the option to rent your place and enjoy a boat trip around Calpe. This is another great plan that we would like to present to you

Visit the salt mines of Calpe

This plan is calmer. In fact it is a very good plan if you go with children. It is an old salt lagoon, which years ago was used for salt extraction. Nowadays it is no more. Now it is a protected area that every year becomes a great passage area for birds. The species you will see the most is the flamingo.
So a walk along its paths and viewpoints can also be another plan to do in Calpe.
