As recommended by Sir Paul McCartney and George Clooney, visiting the coastal treasures of Costa Blanca ranks quite highly on many travel writers’ lists. Merely one look at it, with such golden beaches, many consider it an earthly paradise. Why go? Its shimmering azure blue waters will not disappoint those travelers willing to make the distant kindly gesture of a Visit Costa Blanca Spain.
Begin in Alicante’s Postiguet Playa. Located right in the city, it combines two charms–the teeming energy of downtown at one extreme and a hidden refuge with room to breathe at the other. It’s the life of the beach that’s pure bliss.
For the nature runner, Playa de la Granadella on the northeastern horn of Javea is an absolute must-see. Clinging protectively to the cliffs, this little cove is postcard-perfect. The water is a clear aquamarine, ideal for snorkeling and getting a closer look at some inquisitive fish.
After that, hurry on down to Calpe’s playa de la Fossa. Here is a real wonderland for beach lovers. Imagine your toes sinking into warm, soft sand on this magnificent coast with its own towering rock, the Peñón de Ifach. This is an indispensable stopover for anyone visiting the Costa Blanca.
Adventure seekers should pose at Playa de San Juan since it features windsurfing opportunities and the sea guarantees an adrenaline rush. Stretching seven kilometers and blown by gusts of wind, this shore pleases adrenaline junkies. Beginner classes are available if you’ve never tried the sport before–without looking down on you!
Don’t forget Playa de Levante in Benidorm. In the daytime it is the playground of families and sun worshipers; as night falls, it comes alive as a center for nightlife. With Spanish music in the air, and if you reach out could nearly touch some tapas, the atmosphere simply irresistable.
Remember, “Life is a beach”. Whether you are armed with your bucket and spade, or just your passport, the coastal gems of Costa Blanca await you–All you need to do is Relax, soak up the sun, and feel the warmth gently massaging away any cares.
