One of the most beautiful routes for those looking for a longer trip, anchoring and calm waters from Marina Greenwich
If you are looking for Cala El Portet Moraira and love the idea of reaching it by sea, this is one of the most special routes you can do from Altea. It is not just a coastal trip: it is a longer outing, very rewarding and with a real sense of escape for those who want something more than a short cruise around the bay.
From Marina Greenwich - Campomanes, in Altea, you can head north and enjoy a day with spectacular stretches of coastline, several possible stops and one of the most attractive destinations in this part of the Costa Blanca: El Portet in Moraira. Arriving by boat completely changes the experience and lets you enjoy the surroundings with more calm, a different perspective and a much greater sense of exclusivity.
If you already know the shorter routes around Altea and feel like enjoying a full-day trip with a more aspirational feel, Cala El Portet in Moraira is one of the destinations that people tend to love most for its scenery, cruising and quality anchoring spot.
Talking about Cala El Portet Moraira means talking about one of the most pleasant areas along this part of the coast when enjoyed from the sea. Its surroundings create a sense of shelter, calm and clear water that makes it one of the most appealing stops for those looking for swimming, relaxation and a day out with a truly Mediterranean feel.
It is one of those places that, once you arrive by boat, justifies the entire route on its own. The visual approach, the contrast between the water and the coastline, and the intimate character of the area make many people think of it first when planning a longer outing towards Moraira.
