If you are interested in knowing where to go snorkelling in Moraira, today we are going to give you some more specific places to go snorkelling and you will be amazed by the seabed of the locality of Moraira.
It is true that in general the water of the beaches and coves of Moraira is quite crystalline and usually clean but if you like to discover things and really see corners where you can observe different types of fish and plants, it is better not to snorkel on the shore and close to all the bathers, there is sure that in high season there is some sun cream in the water and that there are not as many fish as in other areas. In fact, there is almost no life on the shore of a beach. So, let's see where to snorkel in Moraira more specifically.
The best places to snorkel in Moraira
Grab your goggles, snorkel and fins and let's go! For snorkelling in Moraira one of the best options is to head towards the southern end of the town where you will find Cap Blanc, a balcony overlooking the sea with amazing views. Cap Blanc is at the other end of the Portet beach and is accessed through a residential area. Therefore, we recommend that you leave your car in this area as you will have to walk down some stairs to get to the sea.
However, depending on who you talk to, this particular beach may belong to the municipality of Teulada-Moraira or Benissa. We didn't go there, but it's the perfect place for snorkelling if you're in Moraira.
When you go down the stairs you will find a small rocky cove where you can comfortably leave your towel and your things, as there is a flat part of the rock with very easy access to the water (as if it were a sandy beach). This is where you can start to enter the water and begin the snorkelling route along the coastline. As you go further in, leaving the coastline further out, you will see different species. The first things you will see on your snorkelling trip are Sargos, Blennies, Maidens and other small species.
As you go deeper you will also see abundant posidonia meadows that serve as a refuge for the young fish and as pasture for other species. And watch out, you might also see an octopus or cuttlefish. Are you capable of making friends with an octopus as in "what the octopus taught me"?
Are there any snorkelling excursions in Moraira prepared?
It is not only at Cap Blanc that you can snorkel in Moraira, in fact, in almost all its coves you can put on your mask and snorkel and start swimming around any rock a little further out from the shore and you may encounter different species of fish and plants.
There are two ways to snorkel, either on your own or with a guided excursion. One is to rent a kayak on your own, start to skirt the coast of Moraira and surroundings and jump into the water every time you want to know what's under the water, because you're sure to see a lot of life and you'll have a great time. And another great plan is to hire a Kayak route in Moraira snorkelling included, which is another way of getting to know the seabed but with the guidance of someone who already knows the area better.
