Playa de San Juan is a 3-km-long strip of fine golden sand that stretches from the beaches of El Campello, a pretty fishing village, to the promontory of Cabo de las Huertas.
It is undoubtedly the most famous beach in Alicante and has earned its notoriety for the beauty of the sandy shore, the clarity of the sea water and the quantity of services, thanks to which it is possible to spend a pleasant day here.
The beach is bordered by a lovely tree-lined promenade, perfect for a stroll in the cool air or for a bit of jogging.
Sports enthusiasts can choose from a variety of activities including beach volleyball and windsurfing, while the little ones will find a space reserved for them.
Fancy a snack, dinner with a sea view or a drink? Don’t worry: San Juan’s promenade and the beach itself are lined with numerous cafés and restaurants open day and night.
