Costa Blanca South is home to some of the finest beaches in Spain. With over 16 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline, crystal-clear water, golden sand and more than 300 sunny days per year, it is no surprise that guests return year after year. Whether you are looking for a lively family beach, a quiet cove for snorkelling, or a long stretch of sand for an evening walk — this guide covers it all.
The Main Beaches
🏖️ Cabo Roig Beach
📍 Calle del Mar, Cabo Roig
One of the most beautiful spots on the entire Costa Blanca. Sandy bay, dramatic clifftop setting and a charming marina nearby. The cliff walk towards La Zenia is one of the best short walks in the region. Go early in summer.
🏖️ La Zenia Beach
📍 Calle del Mar, La Zenia
Wide, well-equipped, Blue Flag awarded. Perfect for families. Beach bars, restaurants, showers and easy parking. The cliff walk connecting La Zenia to Cabo Roig is genuinely stunning.
🏖️ Playa Flamenca
📍 Calle Saavedra Fajardo, Playa Flamenca
Two beautiful coves separated by a scenic promenade with palm trees. Calm waters, lively atmosphere, watersports and restaurants nearby. One of the most complete family beaches in the area.
🏖️ Punta Prima Beach
📍 Calle del Mar, Punta Prima
Relaxed, clear water, mix of sand and rock formations. Has a beachside elevator — one of the most accessible beaches in the region. Less crowded than La Zenia.
🏖️ Campoamor Beach
📍 Calle del Agua, Dehesa de Campoamor
Long, wide golden sand next to the Campoamor marina. Blue Flag and Q quality mark. Water sports, restaurants, showers, parking. The marina is worth a walk after the beach.
🏖️ Mil Palmeras Beach
📍 Avenida Riviera, Mil Palmeras
Quieter, more relaxed, fine sand and calm waters. Ideal for a long afternoon without the crowds.
