Los Arenales Del Sol: Beach, Dunes and Water Sports

Los Arenales Del Sol combines a distinctive coastal landscape with a wide range of opportunities for active holidays and days spent close to nature. At Arenales del Sol Beach, there is a designated area for windsurfing; the necessary equipment can be rented. This allows you to plan your time by the sea with ease, without having to limit yourself to just one way of enjoying the beach.

Beach, dunes and a distinctive coastal area

Arenales del Sol Beach is characterised by an unusually diverse dune landscape. Embryonic, mobile, semi-fixed, fixed and even fossil dunes can be found there. These different dune formations give the beach its own distinctive landscape character and also make it interesting for visitors who want to do more by the sea than swim or enjoy water sports. Families can include nature observation and time at the beach in their travel plans without having to align everyone’s interests around the same activity.

At Playa Arenales del Sol in Elche lies the municipal natural area of Clot de Galvany. It is a coastal wetland connected to the dunes and pine forests of El Carabassí. The natural area has established paths and observation posts that visitors can use for nature observation. This creates a distinct excursion focus combining wetland, dunes and pine forest. When searching for accommodation, this landscape character can provide important guidance: would you mainly like to experience the beach and water activities, or also set aside time for a nature-focused exploration?

Water sports for different experience levels

At Arenales del Sol Beach, Club Deportivo Alicante Playa Y Mar offers water sports equipment rental as well as beginner and advanced courses. The range of activities is therefore suitable for different experience levels, without requiring you to commit to a particular sport in advance. The programme includes stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, bodyboarding, water biking and kayaking.

In addition, Club Deportivo Alicante Playa Y Mar offers year-round outings, tours and excursions by kayak and SUP board. These activities provide different ways to enjoy an active day on the water: you can plan a guided outing or tour, choose a course or use the rental service. If you are travelling with children or in a group, this range of options makes it easier to tailor the day’s schedule to individual interests and experience levels. When searching for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Los Arenales Del Sol, it is therefore advisable to first decide on your personal priority: water sports, coastal scenery, nature observation or a combination of these.

Guidance for your accommodation search

Los Arenales Del Sol is particularly appealing as a holiday destination if you would like to combine coastal scenery, nature observation and various water sports. A holiday apartment or holiday home gives you the opportunity to adapt your travel plans to your own rhythm, without any specific accommodation features having to be inferred from the experiences mentioned above. When making your choice, focus primarily on which aspect is most important for your trip and which activities you actually intend to include.

In summer 2023, Arenales del Sol was home to one of the two accessible beach access points in Elche. This clearly time-specific information provides additional context for understanding the beach area.
