2-bedroom Apartment In Cabo Roig, Spain (72 M²)

It is just a short walk from the famous Cabo Roig strip, where shops, bars and restaurants are all on hand. The busiest months are July and August, with January and February the quietest. Cabo Roig’s most famous landmark, the 16th-century watchtower, was originally built to warn of attacks from Berber pirates who once plagued the coastline.

It now sits beside a restaurant, an ideal spot for a quiet drink while looking over the marina and across the sea to La Manga, and it also marks the start of the wonderful cliff walk to La Zenia. Cabo Roig is known for its beautiful sandy beaches, and this stretch of the Costa Blanca is no exception. Its two main beaches, Cala Capitan and Cala Caleta, are clean and safe for children, and most beaches along the coast hold “blue flag” status.

The beaches at La Zenia, Playa Flamenca and Campoamor are also within easy walking distance. The cliff-top walk from La Zenia to Cabo Roig is a lovely way to spend a morning or evening, offering stunning coastal views and, on a clear day, glimpses of La Manga glistening in the distance. On a hot summer’s evening, the cooling sea breeze provides welcome relief from the burning August sun.

Cabo Roig, “the jewel of the Costa Blanca”, is a seaside resort with something for everybody, and well worth a visit. It lies just off the N-332 road between Torrevieja and Pilar de la Horadada, a twenty-minute drive from San Javier (Murcia) airport. The AP-7 motorway is also close by, reaching Alicante airport in around 45 minutes.
