There are daily Denia to Ibiza Ferry services (you can see Ibiza on a clear day) and Mallorca. There are also full and half day mini cruise options along the coast which visit other resorts including Javea, Calpe and Altea.
The ferry terminal in the town centre lies only about 300m from the town's train station which is convenient for services south to Alicante (if you're headed north to Valencia you'll need to take a bus to Gandia and catch the train there).
Denia lies some 7km north of Javea along a spectacular winding mountain road watched over by Montgo Mountain. It is an attractive resort with a fascinating old town, fine restaurants and magnificent beaches stretching for many kilometers to the north.
