Into the sea on the Costa Blanca without barriers
Barrier-free access to the sea on the Costa Blanca TOP 6 barrier-free beaches The Costa Blanca offers numerous beaches that are accessible to all.
The Blue Flag is not a decoration. It is a seal of approval for beaches where more is right than just the view. If you want to hold it, you have to fulfil standards: Water quality, safety, environmental management, accessibility. In 2025, numerous sections of the Marina Alta and Marina Baixa were once again honoured - including well-known names, but also some that are new or back on the list.
Consistent standards in Dénia, Calpe and Benissa
As in previous years, Dénia remains reliable: Les Bovetes, Les Marines, Deveses, Raset, Marineta Cassiana and Els Molins have been reconfirmed. A new addition is Punta Negra - a small section that shows that quality work is not only carried out on the main beaches.
Benissa also remains stable: Cala Fustera and the smaller Cala del Baladrar continue to fulfil all the criteria.
Calpe is one of the most reliable places in the region: with Playa de la Fossa, Arenal-Bol and Cantal Roig, three beaches are certified to a high standard.
New arrivals in Altea, returnees in Benidorm
With Cap Blanc, La Roda and, for the first time, Playa El Bol, Altea has three excellent beaches in the running. A good signal for a municipality that has long been under the radar.
Benidorm, together with Levante and Poniente, once again secures the title. The small Cala del Mal Pas, on the other hand, falls off the list - as it did last year.
L'Alfàs del Pi celebrates a comeback: The Racó de l'Albir, most recently without a flag, is officially certified again in 2025.
Also in the south: solid work
Villajoyosa remains reliable: Playa Centro, La Caleta, Paradís, El Torres, Bol Nou and Xarco once again achieve the award - a rate that is impressive compared to the rest of the country.
In Benitachell, Cala del Moraig is still on the list. In Jávea, La Grava and Granadella remain listed, while the centrally located Arenal does not fulfil the requirements this year.
