To be able to access the Granadella beach, you will have to take the Granadella road, which is perfectly indicated all the way from the heart of Javea, and it takes around 15 to 20 minutes to reach the beach from Javea city centre. However, it is very advisable to use a GPS to avoid getting lost, as after all, it is a remote location and for those who do not know the area, the roads might be a little bit confusing and disorientating. For those coming with GPS, simply write in “Carretera Tio Catala, Jávea” and it should take you directly to Granadella beach, Javea.

Our Cala en Caló kayak tour from Cala Granadella lasts approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, giving you enough time to enjoy far more than just the paddle itself. This duration allows us to kayak along one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Jávea, while also having time to stop, explore, snorkel, and discover some of the hidden highlights that make this route so special.
Because this experience is focused on Cala en Caló, the route is designed to let guests enjoy the cove properly rather than simply passing by. Depending on sea conditions, the excursion may also include other beautiful points of interest along the Granadella coastline, such as Cova del Llop Marí, the Blue Lagoon, Isla del Descubridor, and, when conditions allow, Cala Ambolo.
During the Cala en Caló kayak excursion, guests spend part of the experience paddling along the coastline and part of the experience enjoying the route’s hidden highlights. This creates a balanced tour that feels active, scenic, and relaxed at the same time.
Rather than only kayaking from point to point, the excursion is designed to include time for snorkelling, sea cave exploration, and discovering beautiful coastal corners that are difficult to reach without a guided tour. This is one of the reasons the Cala en Caló kayak tour is such a rewarding experience — it combines movement, exploration, and time to enjoy the sea properly.
Yes — this excursion is suitable for beginners, and many of our guests are trying kayaking for the first time. Before departure, our guides provide a clear and simple introduction to the basics of kayaking, including how to get into the kayak, how to sit comfortably, how to paddle efficiently, and how to control direction and manoeuvring.
The route is designed to be enjoyable for a wide range of participants, as long as they have a basic level of fitness and feel comfortable in the water. Children can also join when accompanied by an adult, making this a great option for couples, families, and groups looking to experience Cala en Caló by kayak in a safe and supportive way.
One of the reasons this route works so well is the quality of the water conditions around Cala Granadella. The Mediterranean is often calm, and Cala Granadella bay offers added shelter, helping to create favourable conditions for kayaking and snorkelling on many days throughout the year.
This makes the route ideal for guests who want to enjoy crystal-clear water, scenic paddling, and stops for snorkelling in a more protected setting. Of course, all excursions remain subject to weather and sea conditions, and safety always comes first, but the Granadella area is well known for offering some of the most beautiful paddling conditions on the Costa Blanca.
The best time to kayak to Cala en Caló depends on the kind of experience you want. Morning tours are especially popular because the sea is often quieter, the coastline feels more peaceful, and there are usually fewer people around. This creates a more exclusive and relaxed atmosphere, especially for guests looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Cala en Caló in a calmer setting.
Later departures also offer a beautiful experience, with warm light on the cliffs and a different feel along the coastline. Throughout much of the year, kayaking in Jávea can be enjoyed in excellent conditions, making this a route that appeals in both peak season and quieter months.
Although this experience focuses on Cala en Caló, the excursion itself starts from Cala Granadella Beach in Jávea. Cala en Caló is only accessible by sea, which is exactly what makes it such a special place to visit by kayak.
To reach the meeting point, guests should head to Cala Granadella via the Granadella road, which is signposted from the centre of Jávea. The drive usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes from central Jávea. We strongly recommend using GPS, as the final part of the journey is in a more remote area and may be confusing for visitors who do not know the area well.
For navigation, guests can search for Carretera Tio Català, Jávea to reach Cala Granadella.
Parking at Cala Granadella can be limited, especially during the summer months. The main beach parking fills up quickly, and roadside spaces in the surrounding area also become full early in the day. In high season, it is very important to arrive early to avoid unnecessary stress before the excursion.
If you do not find parking, it is important not to leave your car in prohibited areas, even if other vehicles appear to be doing so. During busy periods, police regularly monitor the area and may issue fines or tow vehicles parked incorrectly.
Because this is the departure point for the Cala en Caló kayak tour, punctual arrival is essential for check-in, equipment preparation, and the safety briefing.
We recommend arriving in swimwear or clothing that you do not mind getting wet, as this is a water-based activity and guests will usually be in and out of the sea during the excursion. Suitable footwear is also important, especially for comfort and safety when getting in and out of the kayak or stepping onto rocky or pebbled areas.
Closed beach shoes or water shoes are ideal. Flip-flops are not recommended. A towel is also useful for after the activity.
For your Cala en Caló kayak and snorkel tour, we recommend bringing:
• Drinking water
• Sunscreen
• Swimwear
• Suitable footwear
• A towel
• Snacks, if desired, for a little extra energy during the route
Because the excursion includes time for snorkelling and enjoying the hidden coastal spots along the way, it is always best to come prepared for both kayaking and time in the water.
