Gran Playa

Gran Playa is a popular urban beach situated in the coastal town of Santa Pola, within the province of Alicante-Alacant. Stretching over 1100 meters in length and 50 meters in width, the beach boasts a unique dark sand that bears a peculiar resemblance to cement. A defining trait of this sand is that it never fully dries out, a characteristic that may vary depending on the season. The beach is known for its calm waters, making it an ideal location for swimming. However, it's worth noting that strong winds can occasionally stir up the waters, causing them to appear cloudy. Despite this, Gran Playa is a sought-after destination, particularly among families with young children. In terms of amenities, Gran Playa is well-equipped to cater to the needs of visitors. It offers a range of facilities and services including sunshade and sun lounger rentals, watercraft rentals, a sports area, and a children's play area. For convenience, there are also toilets, footwash stations, a tourist office, and a cleaning service. To maintain cleanliness, litter bins are strategically placed across the beach. Accessibility is another advantage of Gran Playa. It can be reached either on foot or by car, with the nearest motorway being the N-332. Parking is available for those who prefer to drive. Given its vast size and popularity, Gran Playa can get crowded, especially during peak holiday seasons. However, its ample space and comprehensive facilities ensure a comfortable and enjoyable beach experience for all visitors.
