Postiguet Beach

Postiguet Beach is the emblematic beach of Alicante, located right in the heart of the city, at the foot of Santa Barbara Castle, and just a few steps from the famous Explanada promenade. It stands out for its calm waters, easy access to the historic center, and facilities that include areas for sports, children’s play zones, and calisthenics equipment. During the summer season, a beach bar is also available. Next to Postiguet Beach, you’ll find the Paseo de Gomiz, known for its numerous palm trees, bars, and restaurants, as well as its unique paving stones that create a striking 3D visual effect. Nearby, there are plenty of parking options, both public and private.
In summer, the beach offers leisure and educational services, assistance for bathing for people with disabilities, and accessible public restrooms.
