The fishing Port of Denia also boasts a magnificent nautical club and harbour. Commercial ferries sail to the Balearic Islands and there are daily small ferry excursions to the neighbouring town of Javea, about 90 minutes by sea.

For the sports enthusiast, practically every sport associated with the sea may be enjoyed in Denia.

From Denia harbour to the north, there are long sandy beaches, stretching some 8 kilometres, ideal for bathing and especially attractive for children because of the shallow and calm waters.

From Denia harbour to the south there are rocky beaches and delightful coves, perfect for "snorkeling and Scuba" diving and fishing.

The ancient Castle of Denia is open to the public and houses an Archaeological Museum. This is certainly worth a visit.

There is a wide variety of international restaurants some with music and entertainment, with a good selection of Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Indian, Indonesian, Italian, and, of course, traditional Spanish, not forgetting the typical bars, and for those who wish to dance the night away there are discotheques.

Every Monday morning there is a market held in Denia, selling a variety of ceramics, leather, jewellery, clothes, shoes, household and numerous other goods.

Every evening, Denia's main street is closed to traffic so people can sit outside the bars and ice cream parlours and stroll down towards the harbour where there is a 'night market'.

Denia has an excellent Tourist information Bureau opposite the port entrance.
