National Parks
Cabo de Gata-Níjar:  The Cabo de Gata-Níjar national natural park, about 100 miles south along the coast from Cabo Roig, is a unique site on the Mediterranean. Red mountains, formed by underwater volcanoes around ten million years ago, run parallel to the coast for 40 miles, concealing white sandy beaches and isolated coves. Footpaths hug the shore, then dart inland to take in gorges filled with dwarf fan palms. This natural paradise has just a couple of roads which lead to whitewashed fishing villages – the largest of which is San José, which has a beautiful harbour and great fish restaurants. The beaches along the coast from San José are some of the best in the country.

Calblanque Park: The wild and beautiful Regional Park of Calblanque is a national nature park and one of the Costa Blanca's best-kept secrets. It has thirteen kilometres of golden beaches, fossilized dunes, dozens of tiny coves and is covered by a network of walking routes and biking trails.  From Cabo Roig it is a short drive along the coast to get there. From Cabo Roig drive towards La Manga via the motorway "Alicante - El Algar - La Manga" and take "Los Belones" exit.
