Alicante Beaches
A beach life all year round
The city is a first rate tourist centre thanks to the splendid Alicante beaches, excellent climate and well known facilities.
As one would expect of a sea-oriented city, the sea front (with its beaches, port and promenade) is the main characteristic of Alicante.
El Postiguet beach
 Playa del Postiguet is one of the classic Alicante beaches, envied by many other provinces, by its size, its fine and almost white sand, especially for where it is placed, in the middle of the city.
It has all the own infrastructures of a much visited beach and is a point of meeting for the free time in the summer nights. It is a beach adapted for handicapped persons.
Playa del Postiguet has been awarded the Blue Flag for all its services and clean beach.
Equipment and services: this beach has bus station, red cross, lifeguards, parking, showers, beach umbrellas and hammocks, cleaning service, waste bins, public phones, promenade, chiringuitos and restaurants.
You can practice here diferent beach sports like beach Volleyball.
San Juan beach
 Located 8kms to the north of Alicante, San Juan has a long, open beach of some 7kms in length and with an average width of 85m.
The beach corresponds to the two municipalities of Alicante and El Campello.
It is located in a residential area that is lively in the summer months and very peaceful during the rest of the year.
Facilities available on the seafront include restaurants, bars, cafés and car parks, and services include access for the handicapped, toilets, watchtowers, a Red Cross post, tourist information and water sports on the beach.
This beach has been awarded the Blue Flag of the European Union. It can be reached by car, by bus (numbers 21 or 22) or by tram, offering a nice trip from Alicante.
El Saladar-Urbanova beach
 Setting out from the South, we come across a long and well-equipped beach.
Little known to foreign tourists, it is therefore the quietest of them all.
This beach, near to El Altet airport, is officially called Playa del Saladar due to the salt pans that used to exist nearby.
However, it is popularly known as Playa de Urbanova, the name of the residential complex facing it.
Free from parking problems, bathers can stretch out comfortably on the sand, and enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the city and the bay of Alicante.
This beach has been awarded the Blue Flag of the European Union.
La Albufereta beach
 Cheerful beach with lots of vegetation in the shape of palms, other trees and cactus plants.
Located to the north of Alicante. A few tall buildings can be seen from the beach.
It is cut off by two cliffs on either side from which you can fish. Off the parking area there are steps onto the beach.
This beach has been awarded the Blue Flag of the European Union.
Cabo de las Huertas beach
 Located in a residential, tranquil area lying between San Juan and Albufereta, the coves along this part of the coast of Alicante are outstandingly beautiful, combining as they do, rocks and sand.
Some of these beaches are nudist bathing areas, and diving is possible in almost all of them, but particularly in the rockier coves. Of particular note are Cala de los Judios and Cala Cantalares.
The coves can be reached by car; alternatively, a bus (number 22) runs all round the Cabo de las Huertas as far as San Juan Beach.
