The Moraira Viewpoints Route is much more than a simple walk. It’s a sensory experience that connects us with the sea, history, and natural beauty of one of the most special corners of the Costa Blanca. Along a perfectly signposted trail, we enjoy spectacular views, hidden coves, and peaceful spots that invite us to stop, breathe, and admire.

In this article, we’ll guide you step-by-step through this wonderful route, showing you each viewpoint, the landmarks along the way and, at the end, we’ll explain why living in Moraira with sea views is a life-changing decision.

Starting the Moraira Viewpoints Route at El Portet Beach

We begin our adventure at the iconic El Portet Beach, one of the most recognizable places in Moraira. This small, semi-circular beach is known for its turquoise waters, family-friendly atmosphere, and its serene setting.

From El Portet, the trail that marks the start of the Moraira coastal viewpoints route begins — a scenic path that follows the coastline, perfect for a leisurely walk while admiring the contrast between the blue sea and the green pine trees. Here, you’ll already get a glimpse of what lies ahead: unique landscapes, historical sites, and postcard-worthy views.

Portitxol Viewpoint

After leaving El Portet behind, we arrive at the Portitxol Viewpoint, a natural balcony overlooking the Peñón de Ifach, the Yacht Club cove, and on clear days, even part of the Benissa coastline. It’s the perfect place for a first break — take a deep breath and snap some unforgettable photos.

Just below this viewpoint is Cala Portitxol, a hidden rocky cove that’s rarely crowded, perfect for those seeking total disconnection. Climbing down is optional, but worth it if you want to feel the sea up close.

Moraira Castle

We continue along the coast to another key point on the Moraira viewpoints route: the Moraira Castle. This 18th-century fortress was built to defend against pirate attacks and today is one of the town’s most iconic symbols.

Next to it is the Castle Esplanade, an open space with panoramic views of l’Ampolla Beach, the largest in Moraira. Here you can enjoy sweeping sea views as well as the lively coastal atmosphere, with cafés and terraces ideal for a rest stop.

Les Tosqueres Viewpoint

The next stop is the Les Tosqueres Viewpoint, located between l’Ampolla Beach and Les Platgetes. This spot offers an aerial view of the coast, and its natural surroundings make it one of the most photogenic parts of the route.

From here, you can clearly see the alternating stretches of sand and rock, soft cliffs, and small Mediterranean woodlands that surround Moraira. It’s a perfect image of the town’s balance: unspoiled nature combined with excellent quality of life and modern services.

L’Andragó Viewpoint

The route takes us to the southern edge of Moraira, where we reach the L’Andragó Viewpoint, the last major viewpoint on this Moraira coastal route. From here, you can enjoy full views of the coast to the north — with the Peñón de Ifach on the horizon — and to the south, looking toward the Calalga area and beyond.

At its base lies Cala de L’Andragó, with crystal-clear waters and a rocky seabed, perfect for snorkeling. This is also one of the most popular spots for watching the sunset and ending the route with an unforgettable image.

Tips for doing the Moraira Viewpoints Route

Although the route is easy, here are some recommendations to ensure you enjoy the experience to the fullest:

• Duration: The full route takes around 2 hours at a relaxed pace, allowing time to stop at each viewpoint.

• Difficulty: Low. Suitable for all ages, though some stretches require comfortable shoes.

• Accessibility: Most of the route is paved or signposted, although the section up to Cap d’Or Tower requires more effort.

• Best seasons: Spring and autumn are ideal to avoid summer heat, though the Mediterranean climate makes it enjoyable year-round.

How to get to the Moraira Viewpoints Route and what to bring

You can start the route from El Portet if you prefer heading north to south, or from the Andragó area if you want to begin with impact and end on a relaxing note. Both ends offer parking, making it easy to organize your walk even in high season.

We recommend bringing:

• Sunscreen and a hat
• Water (some fountains along the route, but not everywhere)
• Camera or phone with battery — you’ll want lots of photos
• Comfortable shoes
