Les Rotes & Torre del Gerro
Les Rotes i Torre del Gerro
A rocky coastal protected area south of Dénia with crystal-clear water, and a coastal path leading to the 16th-century Torre del Gerro watchtower.
Les Rotes is a rocky coastline stretching from south of Dénia to Cap de Sant Antoni. It is a marine protected area with seagrass meadows and fish, making it Dénia's best spot for snorkeling, and small pebble coves such as Les Arenetes can be entered directly from the water. A flat coastal walkway runs along the shore and extends south to the 16th-century Torre del Gerro watchtower, built to guard against pirates, and beyond it to the cliffs in the direction of Cova Tallada. From Dénia port, the coast road by bike or on foot takes about 30–40 minutes, and there is summer bus service. Admission is free. Bring snorkel gear and water shoes.
