The main economic activity of Alquería de Javea, declared an independent town in 1698, is the provision of services and agriculture, especially the growing of Muscatel grapes. Though its district is quite small the village is located some distance from its coastal area, which comprises two coves - the Cala Llebeig cove and the los Tiestos cove for naturists. The coast is craggy and inaccessible and, until recently, the dangerous activity of Pesqueras was carried out. This consisted of fishing by hand whilst seated on a wattle platform with the legs dangling over. The platform was reached by descending the cliff using a rope ladder.
