Jávea’s main Blue Flag beach: flat, family-friendly promenade with year-round dining—frontline/second-line apartments that rent exceptionally well.
Facts
Arenal is Jávea’s showcase sandy bay with a broad Blue Flag beach, palm-lined promenade and a dense strip of cafés, restaurants and shops. Expect prime Jávea pricing around €3,950/m² (frontline/second-line apartments; renovated sea-view units trade higher). Daily life is fully walkable with supermarkets and services behind the strip; the Port and Old Town are a short drive. Airports work both ways: Alicante ~75–85 min, Valencia ~85–95 min via AP-7. Rentals are top-tier in summer and strong in shoulder seasons thanks to the promenade, coves and year-round town life.
