Resorts of the Torrevieja Area - Cabo Roig
Cabo Roig Torrevieja - The exclusive Costa Blanca resort of Cabo Roig Torrevieja is situated on the Orihuela Costa section of the coastline between Punta Prima and Pilar de la Horadada. The clean “blue flag” beaches, the beautiful cliff walks and the bustling
Cabo Roig “strip” attract holidaymakers from all over the world. Very popular with the British and Irish, Cabo Roig also attracts a large number of Spanish visitors during the hot summer season, the Spanish particularly love the beach and the sea.
Well placed for visiting the entire Costa Blanca region, Cabo Roig is an ideal location for a touring holiday. Cabo Roig is often quiet during the winter and spring and this can be a good time to visit as even in December and January the temperature can be up in the 70’s.
The eye-catching 16th century watchtower, around which Cabo Roig Torrevieja originally grew, is now part of a restaurant complex which overlooks the recently modernised marina. An estimated 2 million euros was spent on the refurbishment of what is now one of the Costa Blanca’s most desirable mooring spots.
There are a number of excellent beaches to visit whilst on a trip to Cabo Roig. The main beaches are Cala Caleta and Cala Capitan both very popular with holidaymakers. Also within easy reach are the beaches at Campoamor, La Zenia and Playa Flamenca. All of these beaches are kept very clean and are usually raked every day, they are also safe for children.
The wonderful cliff-top walk from La Zenia to Cabo Roig is a great way to spend a morning or perhaps an evening whilst visiting the area. This fine walk offers some stunning views of the coastline and on a clear day it is possible to see the resort of La Manga glistening in the distance. During a hot summer’s evening you will also enjoy the cooling sea breeze which makes a pleasant change from the burning sun of a balmy August day.
