Los Arenales -
Located some 8 kilometres south of the city of Alicante and just 2 kilometres from the airport at El Altet is the coastal town of Los Arenales, Costa Blanca, Spain. Best known for its miles of golden, sandy beaches and its sand dunes, Los Arenales is a popular vacation spot, especially with the Spanish people.
Somewhat spoilt by its excess of apartment blocks, by the beachside and to the back of the town, Los Arenales still boasts a lovely palm-lined promenade and some fabulous views along the Costa Blanca coastline to Alicante.

Along the promenade, which stretches for some distance, you will find a large number of bars and restaurants, many overlooking the sea and the beach, it is a pleasant place to sit for an hour or so and enjoy a cup of coffee. Also along the promenade you will find a number of play areas for children.
The beach of Los Arenales has easy access for the disabled and has lifeguard facilities during the busy season. Los Arenales has the reputation of being a windy beach and is a perfect spot for kite flying and for water sports.
One small drawback which should be mentioned is its proximity to El Altet airport, while very handy for access to Los Arenales, planes do take off every few minutes and fly out over the sea near to the beaches, so it can be a little noisy.
Los Arenales is a good spot for exploring the region and it is close enough to enjoy all the facilities and attractions of Alicante, a particular favourite being the Santa Barbara Castle, which can easily be spotted from Los Arenales beach, sitting in its lofty position on Mount Benacantil.
Los Arenales is part of the district of Elche and is only a short drive away from this historic city with its famous palm forest. Elche has many excellent attractions to visit and would be well worth a trip if you are staying in the area.
Los Arenales is located just off, and is well signposted from the N332 costal road. Los Arenales Sunrise Picture
