How to get from the station to Alicante’s beaches

Postiguet Beach

This is the closest urban beach to the centre and the best fit for a short break. Depending on where you’re starting from, you can walk or take a short ride to make things easier.

San Juan Beach

Other beaches and coastal areas

To explore more of the coastline or move towards nearby northern areas, the TRAM is once again a great help. If you’re without a car, it’s probably the option that makes the most sense for this kind of plan.
