The city is famous for its about 10 km long beach, which is pine forest enclosed.
Guardamar del Sergura stands at the mouth of the river Segura and is surrounded by pine, palm and eucalyptus trees all of which were planted to prevent erosion of one of Spain's finest beaches. Both the Guardamar and Pineda beaches are composed of the finest white sand and the smell of the pine trees which surrounds them makes for an unforgettable experience. The beaches run for as far as the eye can see and are so large that even in peak season, there are days when they seem almost deserted. Swept during the season on a daily plus basis, the Guardamar beach is possibly one of the best manicured in all Spain Not far from Torrevieja or Alicante and only 30 minutes from the airport, Guardamar is well served with shops supplying everything necessary for comfortable living. There are the usual restaurants, bars, cafes etc. and for the young, a water park and miniature fairground are not too far away. On Sundays you can visit the Guardamar open market where you will find everything under the sun.
