An ecosystem of huge ecological and environmental value, declared a Maritime and Terrestrial Nature Park. The Serra Gelada Nature Park together with its setting and seabed is to be found within the district of Marina Baixa and is one of the most outstanding of the Valencia Autonomous Region, having been the first maritime and terrestrial park to be designated there. The uplands reveal an outstanding relief profile rising abruptly above Altea, Alfás del Pi and Benidorm, creating cliffs measuring more than 400 m, home to enclaves of vegetation of exceptional value, as well as the intriguing hanging fossil dune.
