Our Beaches
The Costa Blanca is blessed with some of Europe's most beautiful beaches. From Valencia to Alicante, there are countless beaches catering for all tastes - from secluded cove surrounded by cliffs, to vast expanses of golden sand backed by rolling dunes. And by happy coincidence, the area also boasts a climate perfect for making the most of all those beautiful beaches with up to 3,000 hours of sunshine a year.
The coastal resorts of the Costa Blanca all fly the Blue Flag, a European-wide scheme guaranteeing the cleanliness of both beach and water. As well as sun, sand and sea, many beaches also provide excellent sports and recreational facilities including children's play areas and showers.
Many of the beaches, as the wind and waves become stronger, attracts many eager surfers so just because you can't go for a paddle doesn't mean you can't enjoy the fresh waters!
