Les Bassetes lies on the boundary between Benissa and Calpe, on a formation of sedimentary rock. More than a cove for towels and umbrellas, it is a small bay of calm, shallow water, with the Club Náutico Les Bassetes right next to it.
It is the starting point for water activities on this coast: diving, sailing, kayak hire and boat trips. From here you look straight across at the Peñón de Ifach.
The surroundings are protected as a plant micro-reserve.
If you go
You get into the water by a metal ladder, not from the shore. It is a cove for swimming and diving, not for spending the day on the sand.
There is a beach bar and a restaurant, and you park in the harbour car park.
