Moraira & Moraira Castle
Moraira
A small seaside resort town south of Jávea, where an 18th-century coastal defense castle guards fine sand beaches and a yacht harbor, with a laid-back atmosphere.
Moraira belongs to the municipality of Teulada and is a quiet resort town on the northern Costa Blanca. Its main beach, El Portet, has fine, gently sloping sand, and beside it stands a coastal defense castle built in 1742 to guard against pirates (viewable from the outside only). The town has a yacht harbor, a seafront promenade and plenty of upscale restaurants, and a market is held on Fridays. The Cap d'Or lookout tower to the north is about a 1-hour round-trip hike and offers views over the coastline. It is about 20 km from Jávea.
