The Peñón de Ifach is the symbol of Calpe and, by extension, of the Costa Blanca. It is the highest rock in the entire Mediterranean and divides Calpe's shoreline in two. The limestone mass is 332 metres high and penetrates 1 kilometre into the sea, forming a first-rate geological feature. The summit of the rock can be visited in organized groups. There is also one of the best views of the Costa Blanca from the top of the rock.

Between Les Bassetes and the Morro de Toix there are 11 kilometres of sandy beaches - for instance the Levante and Arenal beaches and the Les Urques cove where scuba diving and fishing are possible. Calpe's attractions have made the village a tourist destination of note for both national and international visitors, who live together all year round in peace and harmony.
