Planning a beach day in Alicante

Choosing where to swim in Alicante is easier when you compare beaches side by side. This selection focuses on the practical details that shape a good beach day: available facilities such as showers and lifeguards, accessibility for families and reduced mobility, the general atmosphere —from quiet coves to lively beaches with bars— and how busy each spot tends to get in summer. Use it to shortlist a few beaches before you set off and to match each one to the kind of day you have in mind.
