Why Holiday in Guardamar del Segura?
Guardamar del Segura is a laid-back coastal town where pine-fringed dunes meet long, wide sandy beaches. Less commercialised than its neighbours, it offers a genuinely Spanish holiday experience with excellent fresh seafood restaurants, a scenic marina and a charming town centre that comes alive during summer fiestas.
Holiday lets here tend to be great value — from sea-view apartments near El Moncayo beach to townhouses and villas set among orange groves. The town's dune-backed beaches are some of the cleanest and quietest on the southern Costa Blanca, perfect for families who prefer space over nightlife.

Your Holiday Guide to Guardamar del Segura
Beaches
Playa del Moncayo
A beautiful Blue Flag beach backed by pine-covered dunes, with lifeguards, showers and chiringuitos. The sand is golden and the water is clean and calm — ideal for families.
Playa de la Roqueta
Just north of the port, this is a popular local beach with fine sand, volleyball courts and easy access to the town centre restaurants.
Playa de los Viveros
A quieter, more natural beach backed by the dune reserve. Less developed than Moncayo, it’s perfect for those who prefer space and tranquillity.
Dining
Guardamar’s port area has excellent seafood restaurants serving the day’s catch — try the arroz a banda (fish rice). The town centre has tapas bars around Plaza de la Constitución, and the Wednesday market sells local cheeses, cured meats and seasonal fruit from the Vega Baja orchards.

Getting Around
Guardamar is compact and walkable — you can stroll from the town centre to any beach in 10–15 minutes. A car is handy for visiting Torrevieja, Elche or the nearby salt lakes, but the town itself is easy to navigate on foot or by bicycle.
Family Tip
The dune walks are magical for children who love nature — look for lizards, butterflies and bird hides. The beaches have gentle gradients and calm water, making them some of the safest on the coast for young swimmers.
Best Time to Visit
April to October for beach days; the water is warmest July–September. Spring brings wildflowers to the dunes, and winter is mild and pleasant for walking. The Moors and Christians fiesta in July is spectacular.

About Guardamar
Guardamar del Segura sits at the mouth of the Segura river, where pine-forested dunes meet one of the longest natural beaches on the Costa Blanca. Unlike its busier neighbours, Guardamar has kept a calm, authentic feel — its old town is compact and walkable, its seafront is lined with shady pine parks, and its beaches are protected from over-development.
The town is popular with families and nature lovers. The Reina Sofía park and the 800-hectare pine forest are perfect for walking and cycling, and the river marina adds a touch of charm that sets Guardamar apart from the rest of the southern Costa Blanca.
