Top Sunset Spots on the Costa Blanca: Breathtaking views from Torrevieja to Guardamar

Sunsets on the Costa Blanca are truly enchanted. Enjoy breathtaking sunset views as you stroll along the beach, sip a cocktail, or take the ideal golden-hour photo along this coastline.

Here are some of the most stunning sunset spots—including well-loved local favourites in Torrevieja, Guardamar, and beyond.

First stop, Torrevieja’s La Mata Beach. One of the most expansive skies on the Costa Blanca can be found at La Mata, a wide and tranquil beach surrounded by sand dunes. As the sky goes from a delicate pink to a rich orange, take a stroll along the wooden boardwalk or unwind at a beachside bar.

Next up is Parque Natural de las Lagunas in La Mata, Torrevieja, which happens to be one of my favourite places. Visit the pink salt lakes located inland from Torrevieja for a one-of-a-kind, ethereal sunset. Like a sheet of glass, the tranquil water reflects the sky, and flamingos are a common sight. Designed with photographers in mind.

Guardamar del Segura’s Playa del Moncayo is up next. With miles of views and miles of soft golden sand, this beach seems to go on forever. In addition to being less crowded at sunset, the light reflects off the water in a most picturesque way.

Next, Santa Pola is home to Mirador del Faro. This breathtaking clifftop vantage point, located just north of Guardamar, provides breathtaking views of the ocean and Tabarca Island. With the seemingly endless ocean below, the sunsets from this location are absolutely stunning.

Near Orihuela Costa, you’ll find the Cabo Roig Promenade, an undiscovered jewel. At sunset, the tranquil coves and breathtaking sea views along this coastal path come alive. The ideal setting for a quiet moment by yourself or a romantic stroll.

Continuing up the coast for a bit, you’ll find Altea, whose hillside whitewashed streets culminate in a church square in old town with panoramic views. The sea, hills, and rooftops are all bathed in golden light during sunsets here, making it feel like a painting.

There is an abundance of picture-perfect locations along the Costa Blanca to enjoy a sunset, whether you’re a native like me or just passing through. Nowhere else can you experience the enchantment of a Mediterranean evening like these locarions, which range from secluded beaches to elevated vantage points.
