Alicante, Spain sits smack dab in the middle of the 200 kms of The “Costa Blanca” coastline in the Valencia region of south eastern Spain. To say the beaches are no less than stunning is an understatement. When I visited here last fall, I felt at home with the areas constant sunshine, great restaurants, and a modern meets old world seaside community. Here’s a list of the best beaches for leisure, fun and day trip’n in and around Alicante.
