Denia

The coastal city of Denia joined our WeWhale locations in summer 2024, with four whale and dolphin observation experiences on offer to visitors and locals alike.

A prime whale-watching destination along Spain’s Costa Blanca coast, a wide range of marine life can be spotted in the waters offshore. Species to watch out for include bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins, common dolphins, Fin whales, Risso’s dolphins and long-finned pilot whales.

The second largest whale in the world, the fin whale, migrates along this coastline every year and is often spotted in the warmer months. A protected area spanning 900 hectares, the Cabo de San Antonio marine reserve, is situated between Denia and Xabia/Javia.

Denia is an historic port city – the walls of the Moorish Denia Castle dominate a hilltop by the marina and its ruins also host the Archaeological Museum, with Roman artefacts found nearby. On a visit to Denia, it’s also worth checking out the Toy Museum (showcasing the city’s rich toy-making heritage), the Ethnological Museum, the baroque Assumption Church, and the City Hall (with its beautiful arcades).

You can access the nearby Montgó Nature Reserve – make sure to check out the lighthouse on San Antonio Cape that sits on top of a stunning cliff.

A popular gateway to the Balearic islands, Denia has sandy beaches, lots of amazing bars and restaurants, and has a welcoming Mediterranean climate (mild winters and warm summers).
