From north to south, the beaches of Guardamar are Los Tusales (the naturist beach), Los Viveros, De la Babilònia, Playa Centro, La Roqueta,  El Moncayo, Playa del Campo and Les Ortigues.  One thing they all have in common though is their high quality sand, their length and the background of dunes planted with pines, eucalyptus and palm trees.

Although the beaches at Guardamar are popular, compared to other parts of the coast overcrowding is not really an issue here. The beaches are all fairly deep, leaving space for everyone to enjoy the warmth of the Costa Blanca sunshine on some of the finest beaches in Spain whatever the time of year.
