Beaches in and near Alicante

Alicante is a city with a beach. Playa Postiguet is a wide stretch of golden sand with a promenade that runs its length. Watched over by lifeguards and with children's play areas scattered along it length - it's a safe place where all the family can relax.

This beach is also the centre of many fiestas - particularly the Hogueras de San Juan (St John's bonfire) when people gather to watch the fantastic firework display.

Going further afield you reach the magnificent beach of San Juan. On the outskirts of the city you can get a tram direct to it from the Marina. This beach, at 7 kilometers long, almost seems to stretch into infinity; you'll never have a problem finding space! Although mainly a residential area, there are a few beachbars and restaurants scattered along its length.

Further on, back towards Benidorm, you come across the small resort of El Campello. Again the beach is spectacularly long, but El Campello has a wonderful promenade where the cafes and restaurants entice you to stop and rest. At the far end of the beach is a small fishing harbour, where boats still land their catch.
