The Beaches
The coastline between Calpe and Moraira is home to a number of quiet bays offering stunning scenery with rocks contrasting with high mountain backdrops. Playa La Fustera is a quiet Blue Flag beach with fine sand whilst nearby Cala Els Pinets is made up of small pebbles where visitors can also take a walk to ‘Mar monta i roques negres’ which translates to 'Dead sea and black stones'. Ideal for water sports, Cala Llobela is the smallest bay with pine trees leading to the waterfront. Cala Advocat is great for mooring sailing boats with a small jetty to anchor boats and watch the locals fishing.
