Moraira is beloved for its stunning coastline—but it’s far more than its main beaches. Hidden coves, rocky inlets, and secret spots wait to be discovered, giving solo travelers, couples, and families a chance to enjoy sea views in peace. If you’re looking to escape the crowds, here are the top hidden beaches in Moraira you should explore.
This 4.5 km trail follows the rugged coastline between Les Bassetes and Cala del Baladrar, passing secluded coves, dramatic cliffs, and Mediterranean pine forests. It’s perfect for slow travel, sunrise or sunset walks, and even as a half-day microadventure from Moraira or Calpe.
1. Cala Cap Blanc
Located just off the main road between Calpe and Moraira, Cala Cap Blanc (also known as Punta de Estrella) is a small rocky cove that forms part of the Natura 2000 network. Its crystal-clear, deep waters are ideal for snorkeling and peaceful dips. This spot is often missed by day-trippers, giving you a sense of private paradise.
Getting there involves a short walk from the roadside parking. Wear sturdy sandals, bring water, and enjoy the serenity away from the main beach scene.
2. Cala del Portitxolet
Almost directly opposite Moraira’s yacht club, Cala del Portitxolet is a quiet, stony cove sheltered by cliffs. The views across to El Portet beach are stunning, and the waters are calm—perfect for swimmers.
It’s best accessed by a downhill walk from the road. Since parking is limited, early arrival is recommended. You might even spot dolphins offshore on a quiet morning.
3. Les Platgetes
This pair of micro-coves offers sandy and rocky areas blending nature and convenience. While locals know them well, tourists rarely make the effort to find them, making them perfect for a low-key day by the sea.
Les Platgetes is just a 3-minute walk from the Holiday rentals in Moraira—so after a drive through one of our scenic routes, you’ll be at the water in no time.
4. Cala Andragó
Nestled between Cap d’Or and Cabo Blanco, Cala Andragó offers deep, transparent waters surrounded by geological cliffs. The atmosphere is tranquil, with only a handful of boats visiting daily.
Fun fact: there’s a Beach Bar Algas nearby, so after your swim, enjoy fresh seafood and cocktails with your feet in the sand—a rare treat in this deserted spot.
5. Playa de l’Ampolla’s Northern End
While Playa de l’Ampolla is Moraira’s main urban beach, walk far enough north along the marshland and you’ll reach secluded patches perfect for escaping the weekend crowds. These quieter fringes are ideal for reading under a tree or kids to skip stones without interruption.
