Cabo Roig is a popular resort located in the area known as the Orihuela Costa in the south of Spain in Costa Blanca. Cabo Roig is popular with tourists, people having properties here and those who come to live here. It is situated between La Zenia in the north and Compoamor in the south.
Cabo Roig is known for its clean, blue flag beaches which are popular among tourists from Northern Europe and among people from the neighbouring regions of Murcia, who come here for weekends. Cabo Roig is busiest during the summer months and it is quietest in the winter. The best time to visit Cabo Roig is May and October when it is warm but not too hot.
Near the resident area there are a few beaches you can visit, such as Playa Cala Capitan or Playa Cala Caleta. They are clean and safe for children. Also within walking distance are the beaches of La Zenia, Playa Flamenca and Campoamor. Make sure to visit the historic Cabo Roig watchtower.
Cabo Roig Marina is one of the best marinas in the area. It is located in an attractive area. It has over two hundred mooring spaces. There are also restaurants and a few other well-equipped facilities. The 16th century watchtower is an eye-catching construction around which Cabo Roig was built. At present it is a part of a restaurant complex which overlooks the recently modernised marina.
It is estimated that around two million euros was spent on the renovation of what is now one of the most desirable mooring places in Costa Blanca. The marina is located by the well-known Cala Caleta beach which rises above the wharf.
Below is a list of things that we recommend doing in Cabo Roig and the surrounding area.
We especially focus on things to do for families with children because that is the majority of tourists who visit Cabo Roig. Of course the beaches and the aqua park are the obvious attractions of the area.
