A beach on the doorstep is probably the first picture that enters your head when thinking about buying Spanish property. After all, Spain's coastline is world-famous, boasting more blue-flagged beaches than any other country.
Alicante's blue flag count is the highest of any Spanish province, making it popular when seeking seafront homes or property within walking distance of a beach. The Alicante shoreline, known as the Costa Blanca, has welcomed multi-national expatriates, tourists and holiday-home owners for generations, meaning you'll quickly feel at home.

With 244 kilometres of coast, Alicante's choice of property near a beach is huge. If you want the beach practically in your front garden, thinkSPAIN has 1,200-plus homes for sale in Alicante right on the seafront. But if a short walk to the golden Mediterranean sands and turquoise waves is close enough for you, then your options multiply, and you'll normally get more for your money.
Most properties near a beach in Alicante province are flats, the most common type of residence in Spain. If you prefer a villa, though, there are still plenty of options at a higher price.
Holiday homes and year-round living
Naturally, homes on the immediate beachfront carry a higher price tag, but are typically a good investment: Should you later wish to sell, they'll be in great demand. Their location is their biggest asset, meaning even imperfections that make property based elsewhere harder to sell at a desirable price are frequently overlooked by potential buyers.
Seafront properties are often bought as summer homes, so do not necessarily need all the conveniences of year-round residences. You won't need as much space, for example; a studio flat or one-bedroom apartment is a great budget option, and there are plenty to choose from.
For year-round living, spacious apartments, duplexes and townhouses on urbanisations with communal pools are widely available. Detached villas near the beach with private pools, from small, single-storey chalets through to luxury mansions, are frequently found in highly-prized Costa Blanca locations.
