Cala del Moraig in Javea is defined by the Cova dels Arcs, a series of dramatic underwater arches where light creates distinct visual effects. The site features a varied topography of reef and seagrass, with the seabed dropping off quickly into deep water. Access is via the shore, and the site is suited for intermediate snorkelers due to the presence of overhead environments, deep water, and moderate currents. Facilities available at the location include parking, toilets, showers, first aid, and a cafe. Snorkelers should remain aware of the potential for strong currents and the risks associated with the cave environment.
