Just south of the centre of Torrevieja lies Cala Ferris, a small cove that feels a world away from the busy beaches of the Costa Blanca.
Surrounded by palm trees, sand dunes and clear Mediterranean water, this quiet spot offers visitors a more natural and relaxed alternative to the crowded urban beaches nearby.
Unlike many beaches in the area, Cala Ferris has kept its wild character. There are no large tourist facilities here.
A natural beach with a unique landscape
Cala Ferris is around 200 metres long and about 20 metres wide, with a mix of golden sand and rocky areas.
Beneath the water, the seabed is home to Posidonia seagrass meadows, an important Mediterranean marine plant that helps keep the water clean and clear. Because of this, the sea here is often very transparent and full of marine life.
However, visitors should note that there are no beach bars, showers or sunbed rentals.
Things to do at Cala Ferris
Although it is a quiet and undeveloped cove, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the area.
Snorkelling and diving
The clear water and rocky seabed make Cala Ferris a good place for snorkelling. You can often see small fish, sea urchins and other marine species among the Posidonia plants.
Coastal walks
The coastline around the cove has several walking paths. These routes offer beautiful views of the Mediterranean and allow visitors to explore the surrounding landscape and local plant life.
Kayaking and paddleboarding
The generally calm water makes the area suitable for kayaking or paddleboarding. From the water, you can discover small hidden coves and quiet stretches of coast.
Simply relax
For many visitors, the biggest attraction is simply the peaceful setting. With palm trees, natural scenery and the sound of the sea, Cala Ferris is a perfect place to relax with a book or enjoy a quiet swim.
