Cala Llebeig, Benitachell
Cala Llebeig is a magical destination for those willing to hike or paddle their way to one of the most untouched and peaceful spots along the Mediterranean.
A Hidden Cove Between Cliffs and Sea
Tucked away between the steep cliffs of Benitachell, Cala Llebeig is a secluded, untouched cove that feels like a true escape from modern life. With its pebble shoreline, crystal-clear waters, and dramatic natural surroundings, it’s a favourite among hikers, nature lovers, and adventurous swimmers.
This small beach is only accessible on foot or by sea, making it one of the most exclusive and tranquil spots on the Costa Blanca.
What to Expect

- No facilities: no bars, no sunbeds, no lifeguards – 100% natural

How to Get There
There are two main hiking routes to Cala Llebeig:
- From Cumbre del Sol, follow the Ruta dels Penya-segats (Cliff Route), a scenic trail offering spectacular sea views.
- From Cala Moraig, follow the Ruta de los Acantilados, which runs along the coastline. This route requires good shoes and a moderate fitness level.
Both routes take around 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your pace and the weather.
A True Escape
Cala Llebeig is not a beach for comfort-seekers, but for those in search of solitude, nature, and authenticity. The sense of isolation, combined with the beauty of the cliffs and sea, makes the journey part of the experience.
Bring plenty of water, sturdy shoes, and snacks—and don’t forget your snorkel mask.
