Two small coves of pebbles and white rock at the end of the coast road, linked by a rocky point. No facilities and no lifeguard, but crystal-clear water and peace. Arrive early, as the roadside parking spots fill up fast.
Why is Cala Blanca also called Primera y Segunda Caletas?
The Xàbia town council lists this spot as Cala Blanca, one of the municipality's eight official beaches and coves. In Spanish the cove is at least as often known as Primera y Segunda Caletas, literally the first and second caleta, the name used for this spot by several Spanish beach registers. The Comunitat Valenciana's regional tourism website itself calls the first caleta Cala Blanca and the second La Caleta, linked by a path beneath the white cliffs that give the place its name.
What is the difference between the first and second caleta?
The first caleta is the cove you reach via Avenida Ultramar and a final stretch of promenade: this is the cove on this page. A little further along, linked by a rocky passage, lies the second, smaller caleta, sheltered by a rocky arm. Both consist of pebbles and white rock, with no facilities or lifeguard.
Can you walk to the coves from the Caletes viewpoint?
Yes, from the Caletes viewpoint on the fifteen point miradors route a staircase leads down to the second caleta. You can also reach the two coves from each other, via the rocky passage that links them. Together the two caletas form a single walk along pebbles and white rock.
