How to Get There

Playa del Moro is on the southern stretch of the coast, between Playa Romana and Tres Playas, and that seclusion is exactly its appeal. You can walk there from Playa Romana or drive: since it's outside the town centre, parking here is free all year round — the paid parking zone only regulates streets in the centre, and only during Easter and from 15 June to 30 September. See the parking guide.

Since 2026 there is also a circular urban bus line connecting the centre with the beaches and developments during the busiest periods; schedules by season are published at alcossebre.org and in the mobility guide.

Around the Beach: from Tres Playas to the Sierra de Irta

To the south, the coast continues to Tres Playas (Playa Tropicana), just as quiet; to the north lie Playa Romana and, beyond it, the town centre. The Sierra de Irta Natural Park, one of the last stretches of unspoilt Mediterranean coastline, is at the other end of Alcossebre: about 3 km to the north, past the centre and Las Fuentes, and you can get there along the seafront promenade, by bike or by car. That is where you will find Cala Blanca, Cala Mundina and the route that continues to the lighthouse.

The routes are covered in the nature guide and day trips in excursions.

When to Go

Being small and secluded, Playa del Moro is the beach that most rewards avoiding the peak hours of August: it's much more enjoyable early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Out of season it's one of the best options in the municipality, since it combines swimming in September — when the Mediterranean still holds the heat accumulated over summer — with hiking in the mountains once the heat has eased off. You'll find more in Alcossebre out of season, and the forecast in Weather in Alcossebre.

Where to Stay Nearby

There are no apartments right on this beach: the closest ones in the local catalogue are in the Playa Romana area — Casa Blanca and Playa Romana Park on the seafront, Peñagolosa about 200 m away and Nova Romana about 250 m from its beach — and Las Arenas, in the southern zone, near Cala del Moro.

This whole stretch is part of the municipality's quiet areas, where it's worth having a car. Compare apartments in the quiet areas and the areas guide to decide with real distances.
