Beaches in Costa Blanca

Costa Blanca literally translates as ‘The White Coast’ and for very good reason. Endless miles of pure white sand stretch down this part of mainland Spain and has been drawing holidaymakers to the area for decades.

Our villa rentals in Calpe, for example, are within walking distance of the town’s fine sandy beaches overlooked by the famous Peñon de Ifach rock. While two brilliant Blue Flag beaches are easily accessible from our selection of Moraira villas.

La Cala de Finestrat

La Cala de Finestrat is one of the most popular beaches in Costa Blanca. It's located in the province of Alicante, and is a beautiful beach with fine sand and clear waters. The beach is family friendly with a shallow area that's perfect for small children to play in.

L' Arenal beach

L' Arenal beach is a long sandy beach and again, is one of the most popular in Costa Blanca. It's very family-friendly with good swimming and sunbathing opportunities. There are lots of restaurants and bars along this stretch, so you can enjoy a tasty meal or a drink while you're there.

La Fossa

The beach at La Fossa, Calpe, is divided into two parts: la playa de arena and la playa de piedras (sand and stone). The sand part has soft white sand and crystal clear water with blue hues. The stone part is rocky with some black pebbles on it but still offers spectacular views of the surrounding area due to its location near Campoamor and La Zenia Boulevard.

Nightlife in Costa Blanca

Benidorm is without doubt the place to go for a lively night of clubbing and dancing, and can be reached within half an hour of Calpe. If you’re after some more authenticity, you can catch live music and flamenco shows during a stay at one of our villas in Moraira, or enjoy leisurely evenings in Calpe at a cocktail bar.

Food and Drink in Costa Blanca

A villa holiday in the Costa Blanca can’t be fully enjoyed until you’ve sampled the local specialties. The food and drink of Costa Blanca is a wonderful blend of traditional cuisine and modern influences. The region is full of fresh seafood, delicious desserts, and mouthwatering meats that make for a spectacular dining experience.

With so many excellent restaurants to choose from, whether you're looking for traditional Spanish dishes or something more international, there's something for everyone!

• Seafood is hot on the menu throughout the region and is accompanied with homemade paella using different varieties of ‘arroz’ (rice).

• La Gazpacho is a traditional cold soup made with tomatoes, cucumber, onion and garlic, served with bread. It's usually prepared in advance and available alongside other tapas offerings for those looking for something more substantial with their drink order.

• If you have a sweet tooth then try ‘Turron’ – a candy bar made from toasted almonds.

• Or Churros con chocolate, a fried dough pastry slathered in chocolate - delicious!

History and Culture in Costa Blanca

Moorish villages and traditional Spanish charm can be found in abundance here. Spend a day visiting the ancient Santa Barbara Castle in Alicante, head further afield to the beautiful city of Valencia and discover the delightful old town and several museums during a stay at one of our villas in Javea.

The region celebrates festivals and fiestas throughout the year including the renowned ‘Fallas’ (fires) where giant effigies are paraded through the streets and eventually set alight. Check the local calendar during your villa holiday in Costa Blanca and join in on the traditional festivities.
