In the heart of the city is the 900 meter wide arc of golden sand known as Playa del Postiguet.  This beach is poised for easy access and shaded by a beautiful line of palms.  It offers visitors several modern bars serving refreshments and food.  Playa del Postiguet is consistently awarded the Blue Flag for cleanliness.

Travel North of the city in your Alicante car hire to Palay del la Albufereta, for a beach with history.  It takes its name form the small coastal lake that once existed on this spot and was home to the harbor that served the Roman village of Lucentum, the origin of Alicante.

Considered to be one of the finest beaches in Spain, visit San Juan beach for its beautiful white sand and 18-hole golf course.  At the end of the 7 km beach there is a cluster of restaurants and bars where you can enjoy a light meal and drinks and get out away from the sun.
