The Most Beautiful Beaches in Alicante: Top 7

Playa de San Juan: spaciousness and amenities

Located just a few minutes from the center of Alicante, Playa de San Juan is one of the most iconic and extensive beaches in the region. With over 6 kilometers of fine, golden sand, this beach is perfect for everyone, whether you're alone, with a partner, or with family and children.

Cala Granadella: a corner of turquoise waters

If you're looking for a more intimate and secluded experience, Cala Granadella, in Jávea, is one of the most beautiful beaches in Alicante. This must-visit destination is surrounded by cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation. The cove stands out for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, perfect for snorkeling and diving.

Granadella is also known for its peaceful atmosphere and limited access, so if you're seeking to escape the hustle and bustle, this could be your ideal spot. However, we recommend arriving early to secure a good place and make the most of its natural beauty.

Located near our villas in Altea, Playa del Albir combines a relaxed atmosphere with spectacular views of the Parque Natural de la Sierra Helada. This, along with its peculiar sand mixed with pebbles and transparent water, makes it an ideal setting for photography enthusiasts.

Moreover, Albir's promenade is known for its "Paseo de las Estrellas", where you can find the names of great film personalities.

Cala del Moraig: a hidden paradise
