Cala Moraig is a wild and breathtaking escape for those looking for spectacular nature, tranquility, and a touch of adventure—all tucked away beneath the cliffs of Benitachell. Nudism is allowed at Cala Moraig, especially on the left side of the beach (when looking towards the sea).
Cala Moraig: Wild Beauty Beneath the Cliffs of Benitachell
Hidden between towering limestone cliffs in the residential area of Cumbre del Sol, Cala Moraig is one of the most stunning and dramatic beaches on the Costa Blanca. This pebble beach is known for its turquoise waters, incredible snorkeling, and the surreal geological formations that surround it.
Nature Meets Drama
Cala Moraig offers a unique blend of natural ruggedness and pristine waters. The seabed is rocky and full of life, making it a top spot for snorkeling and diving. One of its standout features is the Cova dels Arcs, a sea cave carved by freshwater underground rivers, creating a dreamlike entrance at the edge of the beach.
What to Expect
- No soft sand—the beach is made up of smooth pebbles and stones, so water shoes are highly recommended.
- Lifeguards are present in summer, and sunbeds and parasols are available to rent during peak season.
- A small beach bar (chiringuito) offers snacks, drinks, and light meals, adding a relaxed vibe without disturbing the natural setting.
- Kayak and paddleboard rentals are sometimes available during high season.
Scenic Views & Hiking
The descent to the beach offers some of the best panoramic coastal views in the region. For more adventurous visitors, nearby hiking trails like Ruta de los Acantilados offer unforgettable cliffside walks with views over the Mediterranean and access to hidden coves.
Access & Parking
Parking is available above the beach, but space is very limited in summer. The access road is steep and narrow, and during the busiest months (especially July and August), the road may be partially restricted with a shuttle or walking access from designated lots higher up. Arrive early to secure a spot.
