CABO ROIG
Costa Blanca Travel Spots - Cabo Roig
by Steve Locke
One of the most popular holiday destinations along the
Southern Costa Blanca coastline, Cabo Roig is a beautiful
and desirable resort. Renowned for its clean sandy
beaches, its lovely marina and its excellent strip of bars,
shops and restaurants, Cabo Roig offers everything you
need for a great family holiday. Though it is very busy
during the summer months it is actually a superb location for
a holiday any time of the year. Easy to reach from both
Alicante and Murcia airports, Cabo Roig is handily placed
for visiting other attractions along the Costa Blanca and
Costa Calida.
One of the best known sights in Cabo Roig is the 16th
century watchtower around which Cabo Roig primarily grew.
The watchtower was one of many built along this coast to
look out for approaching Berber pirates who frequently
attacked villages along the coastline. The watchtower now
looks down on the recently renovated marina with its 200
plus moorings.
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. Be sure to try out the well known cliff walk which
runs from Cala Caleta beach to La Zenia beach, this is an
ideal way to spend an evening during the bright summer
months and will provide a very welcome cooling breeze on
those hot muggy days. The walk offers some picturesque
views of the sea and coastline and there are some
interesting coves to explore along the way.
The climate in Cabo Roig is warm and temperate and it is
considered to be one of the healthiest places to live. The
summers are warm and dry with temperatures sometimes
reaching 40 degrees centigrade in July and August, the
average temperature through the year is approximately 20
degrees centigrade with winter temperatures rarely falling
below 10 degrees. Rainfall is scarce and occasional and
occurs mostly during the winter.
For food, drinks and entertainment the majority of visitors
head for the busy Cabo Roig strip (located on both sides of
the N-332 coastal road), here you can find a tremendous
variety of bars, restaurants, fast food establishments and
shops. During the summer months there is plenty of live
entertainment available plus the usual array of karaoke,
bingo and quiz nights.
The list of things to do in and around Cabo Roig is endless,
here are just a few suggestions - take a trip into the nearby
town of Torrevieja and visit the huge Friday market (the
biggest in the region), in the afternoon take the kids to the
Aqua Splash Park (Aquopolis) with its enormous water slides
and lovely picnic area. Visit one of the many ancient
Spanish cities in the region, choose from Murcia, Orihuela,
Cartagena, Elche or Alicante - all have a good selection of
attractions that are worth a visit. Try out the Go-Karts at
Punta Prima, great fun for kids and adults, or visit the
nearest circus - there are plenty to choose from during the
busy summer months.
There you have it - Cabo Roig, "the jewel of the Costa
Blanca", the seaside resort with something for everybody.
Be sure to visit sometime soon.
Cabo Roig lies just off the N-332 road between Torrevieja
and Pilar de la Horadada, and is just a twenty minute drive
from San Javier (Murcia) airport. Also close by is the AP-7
motorway which will get you to Alicante airport in around
forty five minutes.
