Moraira is a relaxed coastal town on Spain’s Costa Blanca, known for a low-rise seaside ambiance, a protected marina with yacht moorings, and an easygoing promenade. Once a small fishing village, it is now an upscale resort where beaches and harbor views set the pace.
Along the waterfront, the Castell de Moraira (watchtower) overlooks the harbour and adds a clear note of local history. El Portet beach is a sheltered sandy cove for swimming and paddleboarding, while Club Náutico Moraira marina is the hub for sailing activities and boat excursions alongside waterfront restaurants.
For scenery beyond town, the Cap d’Or coastal walk follows a rocky headland trail with small coves and sea vistas, and Cap de la Nau adds cliff scenery and a lighthouse. Penyal d’Ifac Natural Park near Calpe is a towering limestone reef and important nature reserve, and Montgó Massif near Denia rounds out the area with coastal panoramas.
