Dentro de la cueva
La Cova dels Arcs se encuentra junto a la cala del Moraig y es uno de los mejores ejemplos de drenaje de un sistema kárstico, que ha pasado de condiciones continentales o litorales a submarinas. Esta cavidad kárstica, desarrollada inicialmente en condiciones subaéreas, fue inundada durante el último ascenso del nivel del mar (hace aproximadamente 6.000 años). La acción erosiva del oleaje y la disolución del agua marina sobre las rocas calizas ha dado lugar a la imagen actual de esta singular cueva. Actualmente, es un icono emblemático en el litoral valenciano, ya que desde su interior en los días de mar en calma se puede observar la entrada de luz por dos grandes arcos y un agujero superior.

The Cova dels Arcs is next to the Cala del Moraig and is one of the best examples of drainage of a karst system, which has gone from continental or coastal to submarine conditions. This karstic cavity, initially developed in subaerial conditions, was flooded during the last ascent of sea level (approximately 6,000 years ago). The erosive action of the waves and the dissolution of sea water on the limestone rocks has given rise to the current image of this unique cave. Currently, it is an emblematic icon on the Valencian coast, since from its interior in the days of calm sea you can observe the entrance of light by two large arches and a higher hole.
