Beaches in Alicante

This is a list and description of the best beaches in and around Alicante.  Alicante’s economy depends on the tourism industry, and as a result most of the beaches here are clean and have services either on the beach itself or very near. However it is still possible to find odd beaches hidden away from the crowds. There are also a couple of nudist beaches.

Cala de la Palmera and Cala Cantalars both form part of the Cabo Huertas rocky cape which reaches out into the deep blue Mediterranean sea.

Nudist beach made up of small rocky coves, crystal clear water, ideal for snorkelling. No services. Family-friendliest in the Summer months. During low season you can expect to see some quite odd nudes hanging around.
