About Moraira

Moraira town retains much of it's character as a former fishing village. There are no high rise developments and the narrow streets are lined with shops, bars and restaurants, with seafood being a particular speciality. A wholesale fish auction takes place on the quayside and there are two fishmongers selling freshly-caught fish.

Mooring up for lunch
Moraira has four beaches, each different in character from the others. The beach of El Portet is situated at the end of a sheltered shell-shaped bay with crystal clear water and a gently sloping seabed, being ideal and safe for swimming and snorkelling. The town beach, or L'Ampolla, is a large sandy beach with a play area and restaurants. Platgetes is quieter and partly sand/partly rock; and L'Andrago is a boulder beach, ideal for snorkelling. Both to the north and south of Moraira there are many secluded bays and coves well worth exploring. The three main beaches are all European blue flagged, zoned and lifeguarded so that all activities can be enjoyed safely.
