But most have crystal-clear waters and are accompanied by spectacular scenery. So that you don't have to spend hours choosing where to go, we at OK Mobility are happy to bring you our suggestions.
Why visit the coast of Alicante?
The coast of Alicante, also known as the Costa Blanca, is a paradise for lovers of sun and sea. This region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with more than 300 days of sunshine a year, so you won't even have to worry too much about the best time to travel.
As for the beaches of Alicante, many of them are Blue Flag beaches. This is in recognition of their excellence in terms of water quality, safety, services and environmental management.
But since these beaches cover a lot of territory, we recommend that you rent a car to be able to visit as many as possible and to do so with peace of mind and total independence from other means of transportation.
At OK Mobility we help make your vacations stress-free, as our branches are located at both Alicante Elche airport as well as at the city’s AVE Train Station. And just in case it is even more convenient, we are also in Valencia and other Spanish locations.
Alicante's most beautiful beaches
Focusing on the beaches of Alicante, here are our recommendations!
San Juan Beach
San Juan Beach is one of the best known and longest beaches in Alicante. It extends for more than 3.5 miles, from Cabo de las Huertas to the municipality of El Campello. It is known for its fine, golden sand and clean, shallow waters, which are ideal for families traveling with young children.
Along the promenade, there are different types of restaurants, bars and stores, as well as sports facilities and children's playgrounds. If you are looking for a convenient, accessible and full-service option, this is one of the best beaches in Alicante!
Postiguet Beach
Postiguet beach is another central option, since it is located in the heart of the city of Alicante. Because it is so urban, it also has excellent services. The fine golden sand is also found in abundance, and like all good Mediterranean waters, the sea is calm.
The promenade that runs along this beach is full of restaurants and bars where you can taste the local cuisine, while enjoying the sea views. And if you look back, at the top of the mountain, you will see Santa Bárbara Castle.
Granadella Beach
If you want a change from urban beaches, you will love Granadella beach. It is located in Jávea, and is a hidden treasure among cliffs and traditional Mediterranean vegetation. It is a small pebble cove famous for its clear turquoise waters, perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. Although it is not very large, its natural beauty makes it a very special place. In addition, as accessing it is somewhat complex, the area remains quiet and uncrowded. It’s just perfect if you want to disconnect and enjoy nature in its purest form!
Levante Beach
At the other end of the scale we find one of the most touristic beaches, Levante beach, located in Benidorm. Fine sand, clear waters and the widest variety of water activities you could hope for. The service infrastructure is excellent, with sun loungers and parasols, bathrooms, restaurants and stores. The lively and festive atmosphere of the city is reflected in this beach, which is perfect for anyone looking for entertainment and fun by the sea.
Albir Beach
If you want to try a different style of beach, visit Albir beach, in the municipality of Alfaz del Pi. It combines sand with stones and pebbles, and is known for its tranquility and natural environment. It is located at the foot of the Sierra Helada, so the scenery is spectacular. It also has a pleasant promenade lined with palm trees and sculptures.
La Fossa Beach
In Calpe, La Fossa is one of the most beautiful beaches in Alicante. It offers views of the impressive Peñon de Ifach, and boasts fine sand and transparent waters.
