Calp, Altea, Denia or Javea in February?

Any ideas between Calp, Altea, Denia or Javea in February? I'd like to spend 4 nights in the area to see if I like it enough to return for a longer stay.
Initally I was undecided between Denia and Javea, after a lot of research on forums and blogs I am now undecided between Calp, Altea, Denia and Javea!! So I decided it was time to ask for help.....
It will be early February but am happy with a very quiet place; doesn't matter if not much is open as long as there's a Mercadona supermarket (planning on an apartment); a daily food market or just some local stalls for fruit and veg would be a plus (if also local fish that would be fantastic).
- we don't want a car for these days so good public transport to a couple of the others would be good; we'll be then going to Valencia so easy transport tto go there is a plus; we like long walks along the sea front - boardwalk or firm sand or even some easy hikes, nice views, pretty old town a bonus

Seaside places we loved in Spain so far: Tarifa, Sanlucar de Barrameda, Malaga, Salobrena, Cabo de Gata area in general. Also liked Alumnecar despite the highrise, Cambrils, Barbate, Nerja, Aguilas, Peniscola.
​​​​​​​Any thoughts or advice would be gratefully received

We just spent four nights in Denia and loved it. Great food market easy walk from center. Denia is on the sea so nice walks on the promenade along the water. Excellent restaurants. Javea is a bit inland. Denia is a "real" city.
