Located at the foot of the Montgó, crowned by its Islamic castle, is the city of Dénia, a beautiful and welcoming town that offers tourists an incomparable historical, cultural and gastronomic heritage as well as a privileged Mediterranean climate to enjoy its 20km of beachline. The north beaches are of fine sand and shallow crystalline waters, while the ones in the south area, Las Rotas, are rocky and eventually turn into a cliff with small cold water coves(due to the filtration of fresh water springs, coming from the Montgó). For the water sports lovers, Dénia has a yacht club and sports marina where it is possible to practice sailing, kayaking amongst others and also boats can be rented. Other activities such as windsurf and scuba diving can be enjoyed in Dénia's coasts; for the latter, the waters of the "Cova Tallada" Nature Reserve and in general on the beaches of Las Rotas and the Cabo de San Antonio Marine Reserve are preferred and recommended. Hikers will be able to enjoy some wonderful routes in the mountain both in Dénia and in its surroundings.
