Playa del Portet Moraira

With the headland rising above the bay and restaurants facing the sea, El Portet offers a setting that encourages you to linger. Come for time on the sand, then leave room for lunch or a drink overlooking the water.

The official regional tourism guide describes the beach as approximately 300 metres long, with a mainly sandy shoreline and some pebbly areas. Its compact size is part of its appeal, although it can feel busy during the summer holiday season.

Swimming and Watersports

Swimming and kayaking are among the activities highlighted in the official tourism guide, which also lists kayak hire. Check availability directly with the operator before planning your visit around a rental.

The bay’s sheltered appearance does not guarantee safe swimming. Follow beach flags and lifeguard instructions, supervise children closely and assess conditions before entering the water.

Visiting with Children

El Portet is worth considering for a family beach outing, particularly if you enjoy combining time beside the water with a meal nearby.

During busy periods, arrive with enough flexibility to find a suitable space. Bring shade, drinking water and sun protection, and keep children away from areas used by boats or watersports equipment.

Beach Facilities

The official tourism listing identifies:

• Toilets
• Foot washes
• Walkways
• A seafront promenade
• Bars and restaurants
• Summer lifeguard provision
• Parking and kayak hire

Facilities and operating dates can vary by season. Foot washes should not be assumed to mean full-body showers, and visitors travelling outside summer should check which services are available. 

Getting There and Parking

Check your route to El Portet Beach before setting out, rather than navigating only to central Moraira.

Parking is listed in the official beach information, but this does not establish that spaces are free, unrestricted or directly on the sand. Follow signs at your chosen parking area and check any charges, time limits or temporary restrictions.

Allow extra time during peak periods. If you plan to walk from your accommodation, check the distance and terrain for your particular starting point.

Accessibility

The official listing identifies walkways, but the current availability of amphibious chairs, assisted bathing or a complete step-free route to the water could not be verified.

If these facilities are essential, contact Tourist Info before visiting and ask about the access route, accessible toilets, assistance and service dates.

Walks Around El Portet

The surrounding area includes routes towards the Cap d’Or watchtower and coastal viewpoints. These offer another way to enjoy the landscape beyond the beach. 

Treat a headland walk as a separate activity: check the route, wear suitable footwear and carry water. Beach sandals are not a substitute for walking shoes on uneven ground.
