Wide Blue Flag sands on Guardamar’s dune belt: quieter, natural vibe with boardwalk access—frontline/second-line apartments and townhouses popular for family beach breaks.
Facts
Moncayo sits on the southern run of Guardamar’s coast, backed by protected pine–dune forest and long, open beaches. Expect upper-mid beachfront pricing around €2,850/m² (frontline/second-line apartments and townhouses; renovated sea-view units command premiums). It’s calmer than the town centre, with seasonal eateries by the sand and full services a short drive or cycle away. Alicante–Elche airport ~30–35 min via N-332/AP-7. Rentals are very strong in summer and healthy in the shoulders thanks to the dune park and easy car access.

Figures to know
- €2,850/m² indicative for frontline/second-line Moncayo stock (renovated sea-view units trade higher; older interiors below this mark).
- Context: Guardamar Centro averages around €2,75k/m², with Moncayo often a modest premium for dune-front proximity and broader beaches.
Market take
- Buyer profile: families and beach-first lifestyle movers prioritising space, dunes and easy access over dense urban amenities.
- Rental reality: strong summer and good shoulder seasons; best yields on renovated, sea-view units with A/C, lift/parking, and tourist-license compliance.
