Top Tips for La Playa Primer Muntanyar

THE EARLY BIRD – This beach in Javea is famous for its spectacular view of the rising Sun, so be sure to set your alarm one morning and make it to the beach in time for it… you will not regret it!

BRING PROPER FOOTWEAR – The rough and rocky, uneven stone ground should not be taken lightly. Suitable footwear is a must when wanting to make the most of this beach. A cheap pair of rock shoes won’t only help when crossing the rocky beach, but also when entering and exiting the sea, which can at times prove difficult depending on the tide and roughness of the waters.

HAVE A TIPPLE – All of the pop up bars along the beach in the summer time are privately owned, and have high rental costs. So really, in having a cocktail under the hot Spanish Sun, you’re actually doing a responsible thing and helping out a local business! Double win!
