What you can see on the Moraira webcam
The camera looks out from the sailing club over the marina: palms in front, pontoons crowded with motorboats and yachts, the breakwater and the open sea behind. It shows the state of the water, the light and the comings and goings of the boats through the day.
Moraira webcam: the marina, live
The Club Náutico Moraira streams this view from its clubhouse over the marina. Two tall palms frame the picture; between them the pontoons run out across the basin, packed with motor launches, ribs and a few sailing yachts, and the long breakwater closes the harbour with the open Mediterranean beyond it. Lamp posts and the tops of the club's own boats fill the foreground.
It is a fixed, wide view in live video: the colour of the water inside the harbour, the light on the sea and whether the boats are heading out, which on a calm summer morning is most of them.
The fort and the coves
Next to the town beach stands the castle, a squat stone fort built in the 18th century to watch for pirates, and beyond it the rocky shore leads to the coves of El Portet and the headland of Cap d'Or, with its old watchtower. Along the coast to the south lie quieter coves and the beaches of Benissa, and inland the vineyards of Teulada produce the local moscatel.
When to watch Moraira
Spain is one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland. Moraira faces east across the Mediterranean, so the mornings bring the sun over the sea and the brightest colours in the harbour. Summers are hot and dry and the winters mild, which is why so many people spend the winter here.
Getting to Moraira
Alicante airport is about 60 miles (95 km) away by motorway and Valencia about 70 miles (110 km). Jávea is about 9 miles (15 km) to the north and Calpe about 10 miles (17 km) to the south.
