Most of the best-known attractions on the Costa Blanca are less than an hour’s drive from Moraira. This page gives our top 10: a mix of nature, history, city and beach, each with an approximate driving time from Moraira and a link to a separate page with the practical details.<\/p>\n

The top 10 at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Santa Pola and Tabarca<\/a><\/td>\nHarbour town and island<\/td>\n\u00b1 1 hr 15 min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Driving times are indications outside rush hour; in July and August and around midday it can be busier, especially near Benidorm and Alicante.<\/p>\n

Close to home: half a day<\/h2>\n

The Cova del Moraig, the marina and the Pe\u00f1\u00f3n de Ifach do not need a whole day. The cave and the cove at Benitachell are at their best in the morning, before the car park fills up. The marina of Moraira is in the village itself. For the climb up the Pe\u00f1\u00f3n de Ifach you have to book online in advance; anyone who would rather not climb can walk around the foot of the rock.<\/p>\n

Inland: Algar and Guadalest in one day<\/h2>\n

The Algar waterfalls and the Guadalest valley lie about twenty minutes’ drive apart and together make a good day out. Start early at Algar, which gets busy in summer, then drive on to the reservoir and the mountain village. For the village itself, with its castle and museums, see our article on a visit to Guadalest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alicante and further south<\/h2>\n

The Castillo de Santa B\u00e1rbara and Playa del Postiguet are close together in Alicante: the lift up to the castle starts opposite the beach. Santa Pola and the little island of Tabarca lie a bit further and need a full day. For a wider look at the city, see our page on Alicante<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A car gives you the most freedom for almost all of these outings; read more about car hire in Moraira<\/a>. More places along the coast are on the overview page Costa Blanca<\/a>.<\/p>\n
