El Portet, Moraira
El Portet offers a peaceful beach experience with natural beauty, a local feel, and stunning views—a hidden gem for those who love the quieter side of the Costa Blanca.
A Peaceful Cove with Mediterranean Charm
Tucked into a sheltered bay just north of Moraira town centre, El Portet is a small, crescent-shaped beach known for its calm, shallow waters and postcard-worthy views of the Peñón de Ifach in Calpe. With its fine sand, turquoise hues, and relaxed atmosphere, it’s a favourite among families and those seeking a slower pace by the sea.
Calm & Family-Friendly
El Portet’s protected location means gentle waves, shallow entry, and warm, clear water—perfect for children, swimming, or stand-up paddleboarding. The beach is only around 350 metres long, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm.
