Costa Blanca Sea Cliff Climbing
Costa Blanca Sea Cliff Climbing is such a unique and memorable experience. There aren't many places in the world with steep and dramatic cliffs that plunge into the sea. Furthermore, many of those sea cliffs aren't climbable. However, on Spain's Costa Blanca there are several sea cliffs with climbing possible climbing routes. The cliffs plunge 100-300m from the coastal mountains directly into the Mediterranean Sea. Multi-pitch climbing is enjoyable if you know what you're doing. Spending time at the beach or along the coast is also enjoyable. Climbing on the sea cliffs combines both of these pursuits into an unforgettable experience.

Climbing on the Sea Cliffs

From there a little scrambling takes us to the beginning of the route. The rest is pure bliss. Solid golden limestone with plenty of big holds, even when the terrain steepens.
