Beaches and Coastal Resorts

The coastline of the Valencian Community is the region's main draw. From the bustling shores of Benidorm to the charming seaside atmosphere of Vinaròs and Gandia, there is a beach for every type of traveller. The region is famous for its vast stretches of sand, which are perfectly suited for long afternoon strolls or simple relaxation under the Spanish sun. Beyond the more well-known hubs, quieter spots like Guardamar del Segura offer a more laid-back pace for those looking to escape the crowds.

Getting There and When to Visit

Flying from the UK to the Valencian Community is convenient, with frequent departures from airports like Manchester and Liverpool. Once you arrive, the region is well-organised for international tourists, making it easy to reach your resort. While the summer months are perfect for those who love intense heat and busy beaches, the shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn offer a pleasant, milder climate that is ideal for sightseeing or exploring the local towns like Crevillent.

Food, Activities and Local Culture

Spanish culture is at the heart of any holiday here. Visitors can spend their days enjoying the local tourist amenities or venturing out to explore traditional town squares.
