Guardamar del Segura: endless beaches and unique dunes on the Costa Blanca
Guardamar del Segura, in the province of Alicante, is one of the most sought-after destinations on the Southern Costa Blanca for those looking to combine endless beaches, protected nature, and an authentic Mediterranean lifestyle. Located just 30 minutes from Alicante International Airport, this town attracts international residents every year who choose to relocate or invest in a second home by the sea.
With more than 11 kilometres of fine sandy beaches, natural dunes unique in Europe, and a peaceful atmosphere with all services at hand, Guardamar is the perfect place both for holidays and year-round living.
Beaches and nature in Guardamar
The main attraction of Guardamar is its vast beaches with crystal-clear waters, many of them awarded the prestigious Blue Flag. Highlights include:
Playa Centro, wide and family-friendly, next to the promenade.
Playa La Roqueta, ideal for those seeking peace and quiet.
Playa Moncayo, surrounded by dunes and pine forests.
In addition, Guardamar is home to the Lagunas de La Mata and Torrevieja Natural Park, hiking trails, cycling routes, and the famous Alfonso XIII Park, with its pine and eucalyptus forests embracing the coastline.
Climate and lifestyle
Guardamar enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year and mild temperatures even in winter, making it an ideal destination for Northern Europeans. Life here is lived outdoors: strolls around the weekly market, bike rides, afternoons on terraces by the sea, and the chance to practise sports such as golf, sailing or padel all year round.
The town combines the charm of a Mediterranean village with modern infrastructure: international supermarkets, bilingual schools, quality medical centres, restaurants offering both local and international cuisine, and a welcoming multicultural community.
Culture, gastronomy, and leisure
Guardamar also has room for culture and tradition. Among its highlights are the Arab castle, the Church of San Jaime Apóstol, and museums that showcase local history. Its Wednesday market is one of the best known in the area and a popular meeting point for both locals and visitors.
Gastronomy is another major attraction: rice dishes, fresh fish, Mediterranean seafood, and produce from the local orchards take centre stage on the menus of bars and restaurants.
