The beaches of Capicorb are: Manyetes or Tropicana, a sandy beach, as well as Serradal and Capicorb pebble beaches. The Barranc d'Estopet and the Coves River or Sant Miquel seasonal rivers have their mouths in this coastline.
The public school was built during the Second Spanish Republic and is now used by local civic associations. There is also a small church, the Ermita de Sant Antoni, built in the 18th century and an ancient watchtower from Moorish times.
