About Costa Blanca

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Costa Blanca does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

Latest reviews on Costa Blanca's beaches

Playa de la Higuerica
6 Siti Mariam

This beach near Calarreona has an amazing atmosphere! It's the perfect spot to relax and take in some sunshine. The vibes are positive and inviting, making it a great place to spend time with friends or family. It's the perfect place to kick back and enjoy the beautiful views.

Platja de l'Ampolla
10 Liriana Garcia

This beach has fine sand and calm waters, making it perfect for sunbathing and relaxing under an umbrella. Additionally, there are conveniently located clean bathrooms and a red cross station nearby.

los Arenales del Sol
10 Janice Meadows

The place was great, but it would have been better if the beach had been cleared of seaweed.

Playa del Montanar
10 Ethan Stone

This beach is in a beautiful spot and is great for swimming, as the shoreline slopes away quickly. It's a good idea to wear jelly shoes to protect your feet from the pebbles.

Playa de la Mata
10 Trevor M.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with a long stretch of sandy shoreline. The sea is pleasantly warm, and there are lifeguards on duty for safety. Additionally, there are a handful of bars and restaurants available for visitors to enjoy.

Playa el Paraiso
10 Maxwell Nguyen

This beach in Villajoyosa is undoubtedly the most stunning pebble beach. It's surprising to see that not many people come here despite its incredible beauty. The water is crystal clear and blue, completely free from any algae or litter. You might want to bring some booties, but apart from that, this beach is perfect. Additionally, the Paradis tram station is conveniently located nearby, making it a great escape from the overcrowded beaches of Benidorm and Villajoyosa.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 38 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 31.3°C and water up to 27.3°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 14.4°C and water to 15°C.
