Playa Flamenca Beaches - Cala Mosca
For those of you who are heading to the Costa Blanca resort of Playa Flamenca this year, you will certainly be looking for the best beaches to visit in the resort and area, especially if this is your first holiday in Playa Flamenca. Well beaches are certainly not hard to find, in and around Playa Flamenca, and the two main beaches of the resort are Cala Mosca and Cala Estaca. These two beaches are to be found on either side of the seafront commercial centre, where the Post Office (Correos) and the lobster restaurant are located. Above the commercial centre there are apartments for rent, so you could even spend your holiday right beside the beach, if that is your desire. Other decent beaches that you could reach by foot or with a quick car journey from Playa Flamenca, are La Zenia beach, Punta Prima beach, and the two beaches of Cabo Roig, also within easy reach (by car) are the beaches of Campoamor, which are among the best in the region, my actual favourite is Cala Capitan in Cabo Roig. As the beaches are the most likely place you will be heading whilst on holiday in Playa Flamenca, especially if the weather is sunny, which it normally is, you will want to find the best ones to visit. These are the ones you should try out first, then pick the one you like the best.

One of the finest of the Orihuela Costa beach resorts, the attractive Campoamor (Dehesa de Campoamor) is a much loved holiday destination, attracting both Spanish nationals and International holidaymakers. Sandwiched between the beautiful Cabo Roig and the delightful Mil Palmeras, Campoamor has some superb, clean beaches, good amenities, great weather conditions, and is ideally located just north of San Javier airport. If you are planning a holiday in Campoamor, you should have no trouble finding accommodation and there are privately owned and agent administered, self-catering properties, together with hotels and aparthotels in the area. Road access to Campoamor is excellent and as well as the coastal N-332 road, there is a junction marked “Dehesa de Campoamor” from the AP-7 motorway, which runs close to Campoamor and the entire Orihuela Costa region. The Orihuela Costa is in the southern section of the Costa Blanca.

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. 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. Whilst on a trip to Cabo Roig do not miss the cliff walk to La Zenia, this walk takes you along the back of Cala Caleta beach, above the marina and onwards to Cala Capitan and then to La Zenia beach. This is a very enjoyable walk and offers some exceptional views of the surrounding coastline, don’t forget to take your camera or you will miss some great photo opportunities. You will spot La Manga in the distance and on a clear day you can pick out the towering apartment blocks of this up and coming resort. Cabo Roig has a wonderful climate and the sun shines on over three hundred days per year, the mean temperature being about 20 degrees C. You can usually expect to see little rainfall between May and October and the days are generally long and sunny. When rain does fall it is usually during the winter months, November and February being the most common months for rain. December and January are usually sunny and pleasant but with cold nights.
