Beaches in Alicante — From the City to the Costa Blanca.

Alicante is, first and foremost, a beach city. It's why people come the first time and why they keep coming back.

The coastline here is more varied than most visitors expect — a busy city beach right below the castle, sheltered bays for families, open stretches of sand that go on for kilometres, rocky coves with clear water for snorkelling, and quiet spots that most people drive straight past.

I've put together the ones worth knowing — the beaches I actually visit, with honest notes on what each one is like, who it suits, and what to expect when you get there. The collection will keep growing.
