Fantastic experience: Nice beach, bring your own beach beds or rent on the beach. Very good for all ages. No rocks, but risk of seaweed after windy days, but easy to overcome. Nice food nearby, on the beach or walk 6 minutes and you are in the city. All in all very good facilities and parking. Enjoy!
Fantastic experience: Small beach located in Moraira. Ideal for going with children as it is sandy. Easy parking. Spectacular views.
Fantastic experience: Magnificent beach with very good parking
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach in a nice village of Moreira, with easy parking 50 meters from the sand.
Positive experience: The beach is beautiful, but it gets very crowded in the summer. Highly recommended from 5:30 PM onwards. Plenty of parking available.

Fantastic experience: I found it to be a beautiful beach with stunning views, clean water, easy access, and a spacious parking area. It is right by the beach and has an affordable price. There are lifeguards and areas with sun loungers and beach bars. The sand is fine, but there are some rockier areas; it's best to bring water shoes. There are foot showers in the access area. It wasn't crowded during the dates we visited, but due to its proximity to the urban center and easy access, I'm sure it will be busy on many days.
Negative experience: A lot of illegal street selling and dogs, it's a shame to see such disappointing police presence in a town like this.
Positive experience: Wide beach with a café. Access with pets is prohibited... and there were at least 8 dogs running around... Some pooped, poor thing, but their owners didn't come to pick up the poop. Ergo, sand with surprises...
Positive experience: Very mediocre ...too many four-legged animals doing their business...
Fantastic experience: Sehr schöner Badestrand , mit einer geringen Strömung und über hundert Meter b

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach in a nice village of Moreira, with easy parking 50 meters from the sand.

Fantastic experience: Lovely beach, short but charming, with beachfront restaurants, a beautiful little town! Not to mention the Giant salt sculpture and the Castle of Moraira! I loved it!
Fantastic experience: Lovely place and plenty of restaurants. Bit touristy so the prices are a bit more expensive.
Fantastic experience: We got very happy to find a beach like this. Close to there is parking l'ampulla, which is free and we got a spot even around 11, although there was a bit of traffic to get in. Nearby (close to restaurant Musa) are paid parking spots as well. We stayed on the left side of the beach where rocks are. It was sooo nice and refreshing to stay in rock pools and watch fishes. You can just snorkel around and see plenty of them! Definitely recommending to have shoes for water as you could get hurt. It was so far one of the best beaches in the area we found.
Fantastic experience: Parking and beach bar are good, with spots right by the beach. The day I went, the waves made it seem like an amusement park.
Positive experience: Beautiful bathing beach with nice restaurants along the promenade.

Positive experience: Small beach, clean water. With lifeguard and restaurant/bar.
Fantastic experience: Einfach fantastisch hier, ist zwar klein aber dafür fein, eine regelmäßige Reinigung des Strandes wäre zwar wünschenswert, weil es leider immernoch Menschen gibt die ihren eigenen Müll in die vorhandenen Mülleimer nicht Entsorgen können, Überwachung durch immer vorhandene Rettungsschwimmer ist hier auch gegeben, das Meer ist sauber und klar an dieser Stelle, einen Verleih für Liegen mit Sonnenschirm ist auch vorhanden, eine Strandbar "El Castillo" gibt es ebenfalls hier, genügend Parkmöglichkeiten die durch die Guardia Civil regelmäßig kontrolliert wird sind auch vorhanden.

Positive experience: A quiet place to relax, swim, or do water sports. Water shoes are recommended. At first, there are stones that make the entrance difficult, but after that, it's fine. The umbrellas should be secured well due to the wind. The water is warm and inviting to get in. If you're going with children, bring snorkeling goggles to see fish.
Positive experience: Spiaggia di sabbia adatta a bambini, con giochi e un divertente torrentino. Non particolarmente attrattiva a livello paesaggistico.
Fantastic experience: Bonito, limpio y con un riachuelo. Es una playa pequeña pero muy bonita y centrica. A la izquierda hay una zona de rocas que puede ser divertido explorar. Hoy estaba el agua muy transparente y sin piedras. Hay socorrista y atrás un pequeño río apto para chapoteo. Bastante parking aunque en caminos con tierra
Fantastic experience: Perfecto para pasar el tiempo con la familia y para divertirse...

A good option for going with children.
Fantastic experience: Lovely beach, clear blue water but really, really packed even in the late evening. If you are able to find a spot you will have to pick your way through the several lines deep of beach brollies and foldable chairs that crowd the waters edge. Once you get to the water, it is a shallow entry and the angle of the beach to the Mediterranean means it usually has little swell making it a great location for a swim. There is plenty of parking nearby.

Fantastic experience: Clean beach even the night after San Juan, very pleasant
Fantastic experience: Very nice family beach, great stay for kids as a small river runs by where you can play wonderfully. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay there as I have a dog.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach in the heart of Moraira. Right next to it is the old castle. One should arrive early during the high season, as otherwise the parking lot is full. There are also trees under which you can park the car out of the sun.
Positive experience: Nice sandy beach. If you go into the water, you come across many stones. So, water shoes are recommended. And it stays shallow for a long time. So, it's good for children. Swimmers have to go quite far through the water.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular, the best sandy beach in Moraira
Positive experience: Ever changing scenery, warm sea, very enjoyable with excellent beach cafe / bar
Fantastic experience: Sand beach near the town of Moraira. Next to the Moraira castle (tower) and the Giant of Salt monument. The beach is long and usually crowded. There are nearby restaurants and a beach bar on the beach.
Fantastic experience: Do you even know what you're asking here? This is a beach, you can always go there without a ticket.
Fantastic experience: It's okay but there is little parking depending on the time of year you go.
Negative experience: A town hall that discriminates against visitors does not deserve any respect from me. Camper vans are banned in all parking lots with invented signs since they do not exist in the traffic code. Of course, I pretended I didn't see them and slept where I wanted, had a great dinner in an Italian restaurant, and enjoyed several other places like any tourist because no government team will manage to take away my right to enjoy any town like any other tourist. It would shame me, Mr. Mayor, to discriminate as you do. The place is beautiful!!
Positive experience: Beautiful beach with a good free parking lot in the shade. Within walking distance to the center.
Positive experience: Wide beach with a café. Access with pets is prohibited... and there were at least 8 dogs running around... Some pooped, poor thing, but their owners didn't come to pick up the poop. Ergo, sand with surprises...
Positive experience: Very mediocre ...too many four-legged animals doing their business...

Positive experience: It is one of the 7 beaches in the locality, we visited this beach after seeing the Moraira Castle, it has a length of 250 meters and is very close to the urban center, it is easily accessible and has numerous services. During the summer months, the occupancy is high. The water is turquoise and the sand is fine, it has the particularity of being able to park nearby in a wooded area of pines.
Positive experience: Small but nice bathing cove with beautiful shops and restaurants in the town.
Fantastic experience: Cozy, clean, and safe beach. There is a restaurant on the shore. Services include: rental of umbrellas and sunbeds, foot showers, and toilets.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful sandy beach - child-friendly
Fantastic experience: The place is superb and heavenly.
Fantastic experience: Nice beach. With plenty of fun for children. There are play equipment on the beach for both bigger and smaller kids. There is also a water stream that goes to the sea. Here you can build nice dams. Parking is easy. You can also enjoy delicious food and drinks at the restaurant.
Positive experience: We went swimming, the water is still 22 degrees at the end of October.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach. Sufficient facilities and eateries nearby.
