The array of resorts, urbanisations, coastal towns and of course beaches along this stretch are extremely popular with holiday makers and permanent residents. Gran Alacant is one that attracts loads of holiday home buyers with great access to the coast, while stepping a short distance inland, there are also some less well known options that are growing in popularity, like Quesada with its lively strip of music venues and Algorfa a more traditional spot.
