Guardamar del Segura
A hundred years ago the dunes were swallowing Guardamar. So the town planted a forest — a million pines and eucalyptus — and it held. Today that forest is the reason people come: eleven kilometres of golden sand with woodland right behind it, and almost no high-rise anywhere.
The Segura river meets the sea here, beside a modern marina. The town itself is compact enough to walk, with a Moorish castle on the hill above and the beach never more than a few minutes away.
- Eleven kilometres of natural beaches backed by protected pine forest
- Parque Alfonso XIII — a century-old dune forest inside the town
- Marina de las Dunas, archaeological museum, weekly markets
- Alicante airport in 25 minutes — the closest of the southern towns
Here you will feel at home if you want sand, pine shade and sea air within walking distance, in a town that has kept its scale.
