Why go
Albufereta offers an easier, smaller-scale coast stop than San Juan. Its protected feel and permanent open-water swimming channel suit visitors focused on the water, while the proximity of Tossal de Manises makes it straightforward to combine beach time with Alicante’s Roman predecessor.
What to look for
- A 400-metre crescent of fine sand sits below Serra Grossa.
- The sheltered bay generally feels more contained than Alicante’s long outer beaches.
- A marked open-water swimming channel extends the beach’s appeal beyond the sand.
Useful to know
- Allow 90 minutes or more if swimming; a shorter pause works when paired with Lucentum.
- Visit the archaeological site before the beach if you want the more demanding part first.
- Check water conditions even in this relatively sheltered bay.
