Located 8 kms. to the north of Alicante, San Juan has a long, open beach of 2,9 kms in length and with an average width of 85 m.
Like in previous years, this year the beach has been awarded the Blue Flag of the European Union.
San Juan is
one of the finest beaches in Europe because of its fine golden sand and equipped with a full range of facilities.
Those
facilities available on the seafront include: car parks and services, special areas and access for the physically and mentally handicapped,
watchtowers, Red Cross posts, a tourist information office during the summer months, foot showers and the possibility of practising water sports
on the beach.
The beach can be reached by car (you can
hire a car in Alicante),
by bus (numbers 21 or 22) or by tram, offering a nice trip from Alicante.
It is the centre point of the San Juan tourist area, with numerous hotels, restaurants, sports areas and good nightlife.
