Calpe is marked by the impressive Penon de Ifach, a immense rock turned into a Nature Park in 1987 that provides shelter for a variety of plants. Towering to 332m, this rock divides the Calpe coast into two wide, sheltered bays. Calpe's Old Town has little picturesque streets and squares.
The local town hall designated a Kite Zone at the beach. If you cant kite well please dont ride here ... we will loose our zone. Go to Oliva beach instead.
