Costa Blanca Tourist Information - Cabo Roig
Cabo Roig Tourist Information - Located on the Southern Costa Blanca coastline is the popular and delightful seaside resort of Cabo Roig. Well loved for its superb sandy “blue flag” beaches, its stunning views of the sparkling blue Mediterranean sea, its picturesque cliff walks and its busy nightlife, Cabo Roig has plenty to offer the discerning holidaymaker. Generally quiet during the winter months, Cabo Roig comes to life around May time and is often busy right through to November. Cabo Roig attracts holidaymakers from all over the world but primarily English, Irish and Spanish (particularly those from the city of Murcia who love this stretch of the coast). The busiest months are July and August, the quietest January and February.
The eye-catching 16th century watchtower, around which Cabo Roig 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.

Cabo Roig boasts a couple of excellent clean sandy beaches and these are a big draw for the holidaymaker during the hot summer months, they do however rarely get uncomfortably packed and you can usually find a nice spot to sit and enjoy some serious sunbathing. The beaches are well maintained and safe for children and pedalos are available for hire for those who want a little exercise and adventure.
There is a superb cliff walk from Cabo Roig beach to La Zenia beach and there are numerous secluded coves where you can catch the sun with very little company, even during the summer season. If you prefer to catch something a little more exciting, the fishing is also wonderful and the dorada in particular give a fine fight on light gear. The water is crystal clear and ideal for scuba diving, snorkeling and spear fishing. Sailing, wind surfing, jet skiing and boat-hire are other popular activities available in the area.
