Costa Blanca Travel Guide

Guardamar, sometimes referred to as Guardamar del Segura, is a typically Spanish town with a growing number of Ex-pat residents. Well known for its white sandy beach, almost 10 km long. Guardamar is also well known for its impressive dunes with palm, eucalyptus and pine trees. The dunes were originally built to protect the town from sandstorms, as it lies so close to the beach.

From the north to the south, the coast consists of two main beaches separated by the mouth of the Segura. In the south are three uninterrupted natural beaches stretching 3 km up to the border of the Torrevieja beach. All beaches have fine sand and clear waters, making them ideal for sunbathing and watersports. 

This town has a definite leisurely feel to it, however, on a Wednesday, the town changes into a whirlwind, this being market day (not to be missed).
