Mirador Morro de Toix is a stunning viewpoint located in the Alicante region of Spain, nestled between the coastal towns of Calpe and Altea. This scenic spot is perched on a dramatic cliff that drops steeply into the Mediterranean Sea, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline. Visitors can see the iconic Peñón de Ifach rock formation to the north, while the charming old town of Altea and the Sierra Helada mountains stretch to the south. The natural beauty of the area makes it a prime location for photography, especially during sunrise and sunset when the light casts a warm glow over the landscape.

Accessing the viewpoint is relatively straightforward. Visitors can drive from the Urbanization Maryvilla, following an unpaved road that leads to the base of the viewpoint. While the path is not officially marked, a GPS can help navigate the route. Upon arrival, there is limited parking available, with only six to seven spaces, which can fill up quickly. It is advisable to park before the last stretch and walk the final ten minutes uphill to reach the summit. This short, steep climb rewards those who make the effort with expansive views that encompass not only Calpe and Altea but also the distant outlines of Alfaz del Pi and Benidorm.

While the viewpoint is well-loved for its spectacular vistas, visitors have noted some drawbacks. The area can accumulate litter, as there are no bins available, which detracts from the natural beauty. Additionally, the limited parking can pose a challenge, especially during peak times. Despite these minor inconveniences, Mirador Morro de Toix remains a popular destination for those seeking a quiet escape and a unique perspective of the stunning Mediterranean coastline.
