The coastline that runs south from Alicante City, down to the tip of The Mar Menor (La Manga) is home to a wide range of fantastic beaches, Sports marinas and beach resorts that will meet the needs of a wide range of visitors tastes. Small coves, beautiful bays and lovely streches of white sand combine to provide a fantastic choice of beach areas. Alicante city itself is full of a wide selection of bars, restaurants, street cafes and tapas bars and this theme is repeated in other smaller resorts such as Santa Pola, Guardamar, La Mata, Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa.
Guardamar´s beautiful long sandy beach is accompanied by a lovely promenade offering excellent and affordable restaurants where you can sit back and enjoy tapas, fresh seafood and a cocktail while looking out onto the clear blue Mediterranean Sea. Further along the coast you will find the beaches of La Mata and Torrevieja before arriving at the shores of the Orihuela Costa. The small coves of La Zenia and Cabo Roig are favourites amongst locals and holiday-makers alike.
Popular amongst many visitors are the Cabo Roig Strip and La Zenia beach areas where you will find some great nightlife and lively bars such as Paddy´s Point where for many years visitors have enjoyed live music every night throughout the year. Torrevieja is another popular resort with excellent restaurants, bars, discotecas and sophisticated late-night beach clubs.
Just a few minutes from La Zenia Beach is the newly built La Zenia Boulevard, an American style, open-air Shopping Mall that offers a wonderful retail experience. From Zara and Mango to Primark and H&M, all the biggest names in retail are there. The extensive food court offers a range of dining options from traditional fast food to tapas bars, an Argentinean steakhouse and an Italian amongst others.

La Finca is the Jewel in the Crown of the three “Quara Clubs". Developed in 2000, La Finca has matured into an excellent course in an idyllic setting. With dramatic views across the vega baja and the surrounding mountains, there is a magical feel about the course. At over 7000 yards long from the back tees, it represents a real test for golfers of all level while generous fairways and large greens make it enjoyable for golfers of all levels.
Villamartin and Las Ramblas are the sister courses of La Finca and have been well established for many years and remain highly popular amongst locals and tourists alike. Both courses require accuracy off the tee and will offer some good birdie opportunities with shorter approaches to the always well maintained greens.
Las Colinas is a highly rated course, playing host to Stage 2 the European Tour Qualifying School and ranked in the top 100 golf courses in Europe. Set in the pine forests of Campoamor, Las Colinas offers a variety of challenges from monster par 5s to tricky par 3s and a fantastic 18th hole finishing in front of the clubhouse.
Vistabella is one of the newest courses in the region and offers a really enjoyable round while the links style undulating greens will test your short game skills. Set in a small valley with a mountain backdrop, the course is wonderfully picturesque even if your scorecard might not be! The course is currently 11 holes but the final 7 are due for completion by Spring of 2017.
