What people ask

The questions people ask most before they go, answered with prices and times we have checked. We read 24 conversations to find them.

How do I get from Benidorm to Calpe by public transport?

Two ways. Tram line 9 runs every hour and takes 36 minutes (checked Oct 2026). ALSA coaches run from Benidorm bus station and Av. Europa to Calpe bus station, and travellers buy tickets online or at the kiosk on Av. Europa. Travellers found the coach drops you closer to the town than the tram.

Is there a boat trip to Calpe?

Yes, from Benidorm harbour. Travellers describe about an hour each way, sailing close to the cliffs past Albir and Altea. One traveller paid €27.50 in 2024. Some found there was not much time to see more than the seafront.

Is Calpe worth a day trip?

Yes, for a morning or an afternoon. Travellers enjoy the old town streets and the long flat promenade. The seafood restaurants are a draw too.

Asked 6 times since 2012 · Traveller reports 2012–2023

How far is Calpe tram station from the town?

It is on the edge of town, about a 15-minute walk down to the centre, travellers say. Local buses stop at the station and run down to the town and beach. The way back is uphill, so the bus or a taxi helps.

Asked 5 times since 2013 · Traveller reports 2013–2023

What time is the last bus back from Calpe?

In 2024 a traveller found the last coach back to Benidorm left Calpe at 21:20. Times change with the season, so check on the day. The tram is another way back.

Asked 2 times since 2020 · Traveller reports 2020–2024

Is the tram to Calpe scary if you don't like heights?

It can be. The line runs high along the mountainside as it nears Calpe, with big views. A traveller in 2022 suggested the coach on the coast road instead for anyone with vertigo. A return tram ticket was about €3.75 in 2022.

Liked it · Calpe catamaran with swim stop and DJ
The 1h30 trip ran to time, the DJ was good and drinks were fairly priced.

Mixed · Calpe sunset boat with DJ
Sunset over Benidorm and the cava were highlights, but the sea was quite choppy.

Liked it · Peñón de Ifach
The path to the tunnel is easy, even for children. After the tunnel it becomes a scramble.

Mixed · Peñón de Ifach
Incredible, but the rocks are worn glassy by footfall. Dangerous if not taken seriously, especially at 31°C.

Mixed · Peñón de Ifach
Avoid the hot season: a long uphill walk to the tunnel, and more slippery after it.

Mixed · Calpe by boat from Benidorm
About four hours ashore, enough to scratch the surface. Climb a little for great views.
