Welcome to Santa Pola, this former fishing village is now a very popular tourist beach resort located just 20 minutes south of Alicante airport.
Santa Pola is a very popular holiday destination for families thanks to its miles of golden beaches, activities, amenities and beautiful climate.
The weather in Santa Pola is absolutely beautiful, it enjoys the climate of the Costa Blanca with more than 320 days of sunshine each year.
This is the perfect place for a summer holiday!
The bustling port area sees many tourists take the trip to Tabarca island for the day, this tiny island is only 9 kilometers from Santa Pola and is the smallest island in Spain.
It has a fascinating history and a trip here will set you back around 10 euro, and the Dive Academy offers snorkel safaris and scuba trips to the island, so you can experience the beautiful protected marine reserve up close.
Santa Pola is just 20km away from the city of Alicante and is close to Gran Alacant, although the area really does have everything you need for a great holiday in the sun.
There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from and squares to sit and relax while watching the world go by.
Enjoy the history that Santa Pola has to offer with its traditional castle and Fortress complete with a beautiful little church and Sea Museum within the castle walls.
The beaches of Santa Pola are stunning with miles of golden sand, umberellas for shade, crystal clear water and plenty of watersports on offer.
If you are a nature lover, check out the salt flats nearby, with the old towers and flocks of beautiful pink flamingos.
There is also the Skywalk at Santa pola Lighthouse which is not to be missed! The skywalk takes you right out over the cliffs, high above the coast and from here you can see Tabarca island, beaches below and as far along the coast to Calpe on a clear day. Just stunning.
There is plenty of choice when it comes to family fun here, including Pola Park theme park, public swimming pools to relax in, building sandcastles on the beach and playing in the sea, or you could just find a quiet spot, relax in your lounger and soak up the rays.
Whatever you are looking for, Santa Pola has it all.
