Because of its size, the region is divided into two parts, the north and south of the Costa Blanca.

Costa Blanca North

North of Alicante airport
Much greener than the Costa Blanca South
Mountainous, with hidden coves
Major tourist centres such as Benidorm and Calpe

The northern coast of the Costa Blanca begins around Gandía and so heads south through Oliva and then Ondara.
This area is full of orange trees and has majestic mountains in the background.

The sandy beaches are excellent and not overcrowded. The interior is beautiful with Jativa, a nice town with a beautiful castle and Villalonga.

Along the coast you reach Denia, which has a port from which you can take a ferry to Ibiza and Mallorca. Here, the coast goes from flat to rugged, with coves and rocky beaches.
Inland is the Orba Valley, with towns like Orba and Benidoleig.

South of Denia is Javea, with its beautiful sandy beaches, followed by Moraira, a smaller town known for its beautiful views and friendly atmosphere.

Teulada lies inland from Moraira, like the city Benissa, whose rolling hills stretch to the coast with beaches and rocky coves.
Then proceed to Calpe, one of the Costa Blanca's most famous tourist destinations.

Calpe, originally a small fishing village, is now a busy city with high-rise hotels and tower blocks dominating the skyline. Calpe has the famous Peñón de Ifach, rising from the sea. On either side are two fantastic and wide sandy beaches.

Heading south, we pass the elegant Altea, with its hills full of pristine whitewashed houses, winding cobbled streets and designer shops. Then we arrive at Alfaz del Pi (also known as L'Alfas del Pi) with Albir beach and then Benidorm, the largest tourist centre on the Costa Blanca. Benidorm is huge with masses of tall skyscrapers. The Levante and Poniente beaches are excellent and the nightlife is legendary.

There are plenty of hotels, cafés, entertainment, shops and some good family amusement parks such as Terra Mitica, Aqualandia and Aqua Natura. You can also take a boat trip to Benidorm Island, a small uninhabited island ideal for snorkelling.

After Benidorm, the coast becomes flat with kilometres of sandy beaches. The mountains in the background begin to fade more and more.

From Benidorm, you can take an excursion inland, to La Nucía, Polop or to Guadalest Castle, a recognised tourist attraction on the Costa Blanca. The Algar waterfalls are also a very famous tourist attraction where you can bathe in the crystal-clear waters.
