The narrow CV-740 coastal road from Jávea is one of the most scenic drives on the Costa Blanca. Half a day is enough to see the highlights; spend a full day to combine beach time with lunch at one of the seafront restaurants. ## What to do in Moraira - Castillo de Moraira – small 18th-century fort on the beach - Playa El Portet – tiny horseshoe sandy beach - Playa de l'Ampolla – main sandy town beach - Marina and yacht harbour - Saturday market – one of the area's best ## Top restaurants Le Dauphin for refined French-Mediterranean; Restaurante Le Caprice for Catalan classics; La Marineta for paella with marina views. ## Beaches comparison: Moraira vs Jávea Moraira's beaches are smaller and sandier than Jávea's Arenal.
