L’Ampolla Beach | Family-Friendly and Central
Playa de l’Ampolla is the best-known and largest sandy beach in Moraira, located right next to the charming town centre. With its gently sloping shoreline, it’s ideal for families with young children. A lifeguard is on duty during the summer months.
You can park for free on the shaded sandy lot or use the nearby paid asphalt lot. Restaurants and beach bars are located directly on the beach or just a few minutes’ walk into town. This beach is the vibrant heart of Moraira and perfect for a relaxing beach day.
Platgetes Beach | Small Beach with Snorkelling Opportunities
Just outside the centre lies Playa Platgetes, a smaller, quieter beach that combines sand with rocky outcrops. This mix makes it ideal for snorkelling, the marine life here is surprisingly rich.
There’s a small parking area within walking distance, and a lifeguard is also present here. Nearby, you’ll find a few lovely restaurants with sea views. Perfect for those looking for a small-scale beach in Moraira with a more natural feel.
Andrago Beach | Rugged and Stylish
Andrago Beach is not your typical sandy beach – it features a unique blend of rocks, pebbles and a large stone platform at the water’s edge. This rugged stretch of coastline is popular among snorkelers and lovers of the authentic Spanish beach vibe.
Close by you’ll find trendy beach bars such as Algas, La Cabana by Mesa and The Food Bar. Just a few minutes’ walk away are Villa Andrago and Villa Patricia, perfect for combining luxury with the laid-back beach life of Moraira.
El Portet Beach | A Postcard in Real Life
Playa El Portet is without doubt Moraira’s most picturesque beach. Nestled in a sheltered cove between two rocky headlands, this sandy beach offers calm waters and views that will leave you speechless.
It’s a popular spot, especially in summer – so arrive early, as parking is limited. There are charming little terraces right on the water, and with a bit of luck, you’ll spot luxury yachts anchored in the bay. Villa Bahia del Portet is just a short walk from this stunning beach.
Hidden Coves in and Around Moraira
In addition to its better-known beaches, Moraira boasts several smaller, hidden coves. Some are harder to access but are each truly idyllic.
