Please complete the contact form below for more information.
Cala Gasparet is one of Calpe’s most secluded coves. Located south of the town, close to the Sierra de Toix coastline, it offers a very different experience from the sandy and fully servicedArenal-BolandLa Fossa beaches.
The cove is approximately 40 metres long and ten metres wide, with a natural shoreline of gravel and rounded pebbles. Calpe’s official tourism information describes its waters as generally calm and identifies the area as suitable for diving and fishing.

Cala Gasparet is accessible only from the sea.
Visitors should not attempt to reach the shoreline by climbing down the surrounding cliffs or crossing private land. Anyone approaching by boat should have the appropriate experience, check the marine forecast and follow local navigation and anchoring rules.
This is an undeveloped cove rather than a resort beach. Its shoreline consists of stones and gravel, so water shoes are advisable if going ashore. A thick mat may also be helpful because the pebbles are less comfortable than sand.
There are no shops, restaurants or promenades at the cove. Visitors arriving by boat should bring everything they need, including:
The absence of development is part of Cala Gasparet’s appeal, but it also means visitors must be self-sufficient.
Cala Gasparet is associated with one of Calpe’s recognised diving routes. The official route begins close to Puerto Blanco and is reached by boat, with the descent starting at approximately eight metres. The underwater landscape includes Posidonia seagrass, sandy clearings and rocky formations inhabited by Mediterranean marine life.
This is not an entry-level shore dive. Diving should be undertaken with the correct qualifications, equipment and local knowledge, preferably through an established diving centre.
The generally calm water and rocky environment can offer appealing conditions for swimming and snorkelling. However, conditions may change quickly, and there is no shore-based lifeguard post.
Visitors should remain aware of:
Never swim or snorkel alone, and use a clearly visible marker where appropriate.
The only service listed by Calpe’s official beach information is boat surveillance. It does not list toilets, showers, waste bins, sunbeds, parasols, refreshments, equipment rental or first-aid facilities at the cove.
Boat surveillance should not be interpreted as a conventional lifeguard service. Visitors remain responsible for assessing the conditions and carrying appropriate safety equipment.
For an emergency at sea, call 112 and provide the clearest possible description of your location.
