Playa de San Juan, Cap de l'horta
Playa de San Juan is Alicante's largest and most popular beach, and a large district on Cap de l'horta, East of central Alicante. Here you find tall apartments buildings and hotels, as well as some of the more exclusive private residences of Alicante. It has high quality sand and is much calmer then the more centrally located Postiguet Beach summertime, but since we visited in February the beach was almost abandoned anyway.
The streets of Playa de San Juan and its bordering districts are filled with palms, wide roads and modern apartment blocks, most of them builtin pretty dull style. From afar though, the highrises create an impressive skyline of its own when seen from central Alicante.
Playa de San Juan borders El Campello to the North, that shares the beach. From the beach you can see the beautiful surrounding mountains. |
