Duanes de la Mar · Javea by the sea
Javea Port
Javea Port around Duanes de la Mar is all about boats, the waterfront and everyday maritime life. This page is deliberately focused on the port itself; the sandy Arenal beach remains a separate destination.
Day trips & surroundings
Around Javea Port, Xabia feels distinctly maritime and lived-in. Boats, harbour basins, the waterfront and Duanes de la Mar all belong to the same scene. It feels very different from the Arenal further south: this is not a sandy-beach stop, but a place to walk by the harbour, look across the bay and spend time in a neighbourhood shaped by the sea. That makes it a relaxed and worthwhile part of a day around Javea.
The neighbourhood around the port has its own maritime identity and is easy to explore on foot.
There is no need for a fixed itinerary: walk by the water, watch the boats and enjoy the bay.
01
A distinct part of Javea
The port is not the Arenal and should not be presented as if it were. Duanes de la Mar lies further north and has its own atmosphere, shaped by boats, harbour facilities and the neighbourhood behind them. That is why the imagery and text on this page are devoted specifically to the port.
02
An easy walk beside the boats
You do not need a full sightseeing schedule. A stroll along the water, time to look at the boats and a wander through Duanes de la Mar are enough to enjoy the area. Later in the day, the harbour often feels especially relaxed and atmospheric.
03
Easy to combine with northern Javea
If you want to see more, combine the port with Cabo de San Antonio, Els Molins or the old town. It is a simple way to mix sea views, landscape and historic streets while keeping each area clearly distinct.
04
Continue towards the southern coast
From Duanes de la Mar you can cross Javea and continue towards Portitxol, Cap Negre, Cap de la Nau and Balcon al Mar, where the scenery becomes quieter and more rugged.
05
Finish with us in Balcon al Mar
When the harbour walk has worked up an appetite, come and see us in Balcon al Mar. Choose the outdoor terrace, stop at the bar or stay for dinner with Mediterranean dishes, fish, pasta, burgers and charcoal-grilled food.
