The Miradores of Jávea (Xàbia) are some of the most breathtaking coastal viewpoints on the entire Costa Blanca North. Spread along cliffs, headlands and elevated roads, these viewpoints offer panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea, hidden coves, dramatic cliffs and the iconic Montgó mountain.

From sunrise to sunset, these viewpoints reveal the full beauty of Jávea’s coastline in a single visual experience.

A Landscape Defined by Cliffs and Open Sea

Jávea is surrounded by a unique natural geography that combines:

  • High limestone cliffs

  • Deep blue Mediterranean waters

  • Hidden coves below

  • Mountain backdrops like Montgó

  • Open horizon sea views

This creates one of the most photogenic coastlines in Spain.

Mirador del Cap de Sant Antoni

One of the most important viewpoints in Jávea is the Cap de Sant Antoni viewpoint, located at the northern end of the bay.

From here visitors can enjoy:

  • Panoramic views over Jávea Bay

  • Clear sightlines to Dénia and Montgó mountain

  • Steep cliffs dropping into the sea

  • Lighthouse surroundings (nearby area)

  • Stunning sunrise light over the coast

It is one of the best places to understand the geography of the entire region.

Mirador de la Cruz del Portitxol

Another iconic viewpoint is the Cruz del Portitxol, located above Cala Portixol.

This viewpoint offers:

  • Direct views over Cala Portixol bay

  • The famous white houses with blue doors

  • Boats anchored in turquoise water

  • Cliff formations and hidden coves

  • One of the most photographed scenes in Jávea

It is especially popular for sunrise photography.

Miradores Along Cabo de la Nao

The Cabo de la Nao area includes several smaller viewpoints that offer:

  • Open sea horizon views

  • Sunset panoramas

  • Views towards Ibiza on clear days

  • Dramatic cliff perspectives

This area is one of the most visually powerful in Jávea.

Montgó Natural Park Background Views

From many viewpoints in Jávea, the Montgó mountain dominates the landscape.

This creates a unique contrast:

  • Mountain behind

  • Sea in front

  • Cliffs in between

Few coastal areas in Spain offer this combination.

A Paradise for Photography and Sunsets

The viewpoints of Jávea are extremely popular among photographers due to:

  • Golden hour lighting over cliffs

  • Reflections on the sea surface

  • Dramatic sky colours at sunset

  • Contrast between land and water

  • Iconic compositions of Portitxol and Granadella areas

Each viewpoint offers a different perspective of the coastline.

Easy Access and Scenic Stops

This makes them ideal for a “viewpoint road trip” experience.
