What to do in Cala del Moraig: enjoy a perfect day at the beach

Between Moraira and Javea is a cozy cove of turquoise waters that requires prior reservation to access it between 8 and 19 hours, which is when it is open. This is the case during the summer season when the capacity of this beautiful Mediterranean cove of 300 meters embedded between cliffs is limited to 400 people. Despite its small size and secluded location, it is well worth a visit. And, as we will see below, many activities can be done in Cala del Moraig (Poble Nou de Benitatxell).
