Large established urbanisation between Guardamar and Santa Pola with long sandy beach, pine forests, and strong expat community—excellent beach access at inland prices.
Facts
La Marina is a sprawling urbanisation (administratively part of San Fulgencio) with direct access to a long sandy beach backed by pine forests and the Arenales del Sol dunes. Expect good coastal-adjacent value around €1,750/m² (apartments, townhouses and villas; beachfront stock trades higher). Alicante–Elche airport ~30–35 min via N-332. Rentals are very strong in summer and healthy year-round thanks to the beach and established community.
