Cala del Francés

✨ Hidden gem

Drop anchor off this hidden rocky cove, tucked between Cala Blanca and Cap de Sant Martí on Xàbia's rugged coastline. Only about 60 metres long and backed by dramatic cliffs draped in Mediterranean scrub, it feels genuinely secluded even in summer. The crystal-clear water is ideal for snorkeling around the rocks, and the mix of pebbles and flat stone makes it easy to get ashore for a swim.
