Four miles of beautiful beach
Playa de San Juan is a long stretch of golden sand and clear blue waters on Costa Blanca, ideal for endless days of sun, sea, and relaxation. It’s a touch northeast of Alicante, although Playa San Juan is far quieter than the town. But in those moments when you’re looking to up the tempo or go exploring, it’s just a 20-minute tram ride away.
As well as being a beach of the golden caster sugar sand variety, Playa de San Juan has a long-standing reputation for cleanliness and safety, making it a particularly great option for families with children. The water is calm and shallow, so you can happily swim here or try some watersports—perhaps windsurfing, paddleboarding, or jet skiing.
It’s easy to make a day of it on the beach here. Playa de San Juan has beach bars up and down its length, plus restaurants and souvenir shops. In a nutshell, it’s the epitome of a bucket-and-spade holiday under warm and sunny skies.

On this full day tour, you'll have the chance to see the sights on a panoramic bus ride, then get the lowdown on a guided walking tour of the heart of the city. Martí, one of our local guides, says, ‘Valencia has really come out of the shadows in recent decades, and now stands shoulder to shoulder with Barcelona and Madrid in terms of art, culture and cuisine. Our old town, one of the largest in Europe, is packed with sights, with the Silk Exchange shining brightest of all.'

When the tour is over, you'll have free time to explore further, grab a bite to eat or browse the shops.The streets around Calle Colon, a modern boulevard, boast all kinds of stores – from global high street brands to luxury goods shops as well as the latest in technology. There are also smaller, original boutiques selling haute couture clothing. Martí adds, ‘If all that shopping tires you out, pop over to the art nouveau Colon Market. It's evolved into an epicurean food hall and is a go-to, not just for the nibbles but for the design of the building itself. It's a good spot to take a break at one of the cafés.'
