Top Things to do in Costa Blanca
Things to do in Costa Blanca, Valencian Country: The Best Outdoor Activities
Costa Blanca is the name given to Alicante's coastline in Spain, which stretches over 200 kilometers. It is an incredibly popular holiday destination for tourists, because of the marvelous weather and beaches. Costa Blanca is family friendly, thanks to the huge range of activities available there from beaches and golf to museums and parks. There are the beaches, such as Los Náufragos in Torrevieja with its volleyball nets, golden sands and Blue Flag status, or smaller beaches like Serragrosa with its crystal waters, ideal for swimmers. But there are also golf courses (particularly the Villaitana club de golf near Benidorm) and watersports facilities and cultural sites like museums and galleries, such as the La Asegurada Municipal Museum in Alicante which has extensive collections of Spanish art. You will need a couple of weeks on the Costa Blanca just to scratch the surface of its entertainment potential.

A fantastic place for the teenager family. Long Beach, lots of activities and restaurants, just amazing ☀️???? Go towards Alicante for more people and “action” walk towards El Campello and it is a bit calmer. 5/5

We parked near the steps / slope down to the beach which is very clean and a sun trap (great for sun bathing). The beach is sheltered with a warm sea and is very flat with all amenities including a well stocked bar (reasonably priced and has live music on Sunday afternoons) There is also a walk to the harbour and the restaurant which over looks the coast. After the slow walk back to the car we decided to go to the Lucky Lion at Lomas de Cabo Roig for a cooked breakfast. The breakfast is fantastic value for money costing only €3.50 for what I would describe as a large breakfast. The breakfast was perfectly cooked and the staff were very attentive. Both the beach and the Lucky Lion are definitely worth a visit.

A sandy beach in great location with plenty of restaurants and bars along the promenade for snacks, lunch, dinner etc. Lots of parking nearby for rental cars including our preferred underground car park (keeping the car out of the sun) which was only €3 for the day. Sun loungers on the beach were €7 each plus €7 for an umbrella in August 2019. There were pedalos and kayaks available to rent, but we didn't try these.

Loved this walk - easy to follow; beautiful flowers and amazing views. The first but is really easy then after the tunnel it gets a bit more uneven but still easy for an average hiker. I hiked it on my own no problem. There are toilets and water fountains at the start.

Great little beach with crystal clear water. Currently shut due to works on the cliffs. It's a step walk down and up but worth the trek!

This is a proper Mediterranean beach, beautiful warm blue sea and miles of sand. Gets busy but there’s plenty of room for all, even with the current social distancing requirements. There’s plenty of free parking with a small walk to the beach unless you’re lucky or early and get a prime spot. There’s also a few bars spread along the beach.
