Isla Del Moral: Beach, Nature and Discoveries

Isla Del Moral combines coastline, wetland and maritime connections: Playa de Punta del Moral brings a long beach with fine golden sand to the area, while the Punta de la Cruz wetland shapes its nature and birdlife. Arroz a banda, a dish of Levantine origin, is also considered a dish to try in Punta del Moral.

Playa de Punta del Moral: Beach and Activities on the Water

Playa de Punta del Moral is more than 1,700 metres long and 150 metres wide. Fine golden sand and bridge-like walkways providing access to the beach give this stretch of coast its distinctive form. Moderate waves and light winds make activities such as surfing and skyboarding possible. For planning a day at the beach, its length and width provide specific spatial reference points. The waves and wind supplement these details with the conditions for surfing and skyboarding on the water.

Wetland, Birds and Salt-Making History on the Salinas del Duque Circular Route

The Salinas del Duque circular route runs around the Punta de la Cruz wetland between the mouth of the Carreras River, Punta del Moral, Caño Franco and Caño de la Cruz. The wetland is an important breeding ground for spoonbills (Platalea leucorodia), several heron species and other wetland birds. At the same time, it is a passage and wintering area for waders, gulls and terns. Traces of former salt production and harvesting, as well as related traditional fish farming, have also been preserved along the route. The former salt production and traditional fish farming provide a second, historical perspective on the landscape alongside the birds.
