Meeting point
Arrive at least 30 minutes before your tour to allow for parking & preparation. Arrive early, ideally before 09:00 even if your tour is later, due to very limited parking and restricted access to the beach after 09:00. If denied entry, a 30-minute walk may be necessary to access the beach.
Important notes
We're excited for your upcoming Cova dels Orguens Kayak Tour with Siesta Advisor! To ensure everything goes smoothly, here's some important information for your adventure:
Arrival Tips:
• Be Early: Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time. This extra time is vital for parking and making your way down to the beach. Keep in mind, late arrivals might miss the tour as we start promptly to ensure a great experience for all participants.
Accessing Cala Portixol:
• Parking Challenges: Be aware that parking can be difficult, especially during peak times, and beach access may be closed if no parking is left.
• Recommendation for Early Arrival: To make parking as easy as possible, we suggest arriving before 09:00, even if your tour is later in the day.
• Taxi Option: For a stress-free alternative, consider taking a taxi from Javea center (about €15).
• Creu de Portixol & Carrer Illa: A convenient alternative is to park near Creu de Portixol or on Carrer Illa, followed by a brief, shaded 10-minute hike to the beach.
• Private Parking on Virginia’s Land: Potentially available for €10. Let the guard know you’re parking there and they may let you down if there is parking available.
• Mention Your Kayak Reservation: Sometimes, saying you have a kayak reservation with Siesta Advisor can help gain beach access.
• Drop-off Approach: Telling the guards, you're dropping off might increase chances of entry (even if you are planning to stay on the beach afterwards).
In Case of Restricted Access: Should parking be full, a 30-minute walk to the beach may be necessary. You can either park on Calle Truita, or the easier option, go to Creu de Portixol & Carrer Illa where you can take a shaded 10-minute hike to the beach.
