Cabo Roig

Cabo Roig is a more upmarket coastal urbanisation of Orihuela Costa, defined by its small marina (Marina de Cabo Roig), red-cliff Blue Flag coves and the lively *Cabo Roig Strip* — a 700-metre line of bars, restaurants and live-music venues that is one of the most famous nightlife strips on the southern coast. A favourite of British retirees and second-home buyers since the 1990s.

Named after the 16th-century watchtower (Torre de Cabo Roig — *red cape*) built to warn of Berber pirate raids. The modern urbanisation was developed from the 1970s and is now a fully built-out resort.

Resort lifestyle with an upmarket edge: marina mornings, golf, cliff-top walks and very lively evening dining and entertainment along the Strip. Slightly older demographic than La Zenia.
