San Juan Beach
Playa de San Juan
A golden beach about 7 km long with clear water and gentle waves, served directly by tram, and a favorite holiday beach for Alicante locals.
San Juan Beach lies northeast of the city center and stretches about 7 km. Its wide fine-sand shoreline has well-equipped promenades, showers and beach sports areas, and it has repeatedly been awarded the EU Blue Flag. From the city center, tram lines 1, 3 and 4 reach the beach in about 20–30 minutes. The southern end of the beach connects to Cabo de las Huertas, where rocky coves are good for snorkeling. The seafront boulevard has many restaurants, and for dinner you can try seafood paella.
