Moraira

Moraira has four beaches, each very different in character from the others,  The beach of El Portet is the northernmost of these being situation at the end of a sheltered shell-shaped bay, quiet with clear water and a gently sloping seabed, being ideal and safe for swimming.  The town beach, or L'Ampolla, is a large sandy beach with a play area and restaurants.  The 'Blue Flag' beaches are safe and the bigger beaches all have life guards.

The weekly market is held on a Friday morning on the main town car park.  The area hosts a number of large festivals details of which can be found at the local tourist information office in Moraira.
