Port (Aduanas del Mar) — area guide

An area of Jávea (Xàbia), Costa Blanca

A characterful, year-round harbour quarter: the fishing/leisure port, the Club Náutico sailing club, the seafront Nuestra Señora de Loreto church (its keel-shaped roof), a fish market and a strip of harbourside restaurants along La Grava. More local and less seasonal than the Arenal; apartments and townhouses with harbour life on the doorstep.

Quick answers

Is the Port livelier than the Arenal in winter? Yes, in the ways that matter for residents. The Port keeps its year-round rhythm — working boats, open restaurants, bakery queues — while the Arenal winds down outside the season. If your test is a pleasant lunch on a Tuesday in January, the Port wins comfortably.

Can I keep a boat at Jávea Port? The harbour combines a working fishing fleet with leisure moorings, and the Club Náutico Jávea is an active sailing community with moorings and harbourside dining. Availability varies, so enquire directly about berths and waiting times — but this is unambiguously the address in Jávea for boat owners.

Is there a sandy beach at the Port? No — La Grava, 100 m away, is pebble, which keeps the water clear and the crowds thinner. The Arenal’s sand is a flat 2.5 km walk or cycle along the seafront. Many Port residents consider that combination — quiet swims at home, sand within a stroll — the best of both.
