During October each year, the town holds its moros i cristians (Moors and Christians) festival.

The festival includes daily "battles" through the town, where arquebuses are extensively used.

There are archaeological remains at La Illeta (in Valencian), beside the harbour, where circular cabins dating back to 3000 BC have been found.

Also known as 'Banyets de la Reina', the remains of Roman-era fish factories can be seen at the site.

Lycée Français d'Alicante, a French international school, is in El Campello.
