Photograph beach - dunes Guardamar del Segura

Photograph's of each Guardamar beach and a panorama photo of the Dunas de Guardamar.

Photographs of each Guardamar beach, and the sand dunes and pine forest area.
Covering more than 800 hectares, the Dunas de Guardamar (see the panorama photograph below) offer a unique natural environment, made up of hundreds of large sand dunes covered with pines, palms and eucalyptus trees. Developed after silt brought down the river Segura during many years, built up into large sand dunes. These threatened to overrun the small town of Guardamar by the end of the nineteenth century. A system of forestation was therefore developed to control the movement of the sand dunes, saving Guardamar from this threat, and now, providing this beautiful and contrasting area. The beaches of Guardamar del Segura are the best on the Spanish Costa Blanca coast; without doubt. Although each beach has a different name, they are all joined together in one long stretch, only the Los Tusales beach is separated by the mouth of the River Segura. See the Google Earth map, on our Guardamar Map page, placemarking each Guardamar beach and clearly showing one long stretch of sandy beach, running all the way through Guardamar.

This beach is on the other side of the river Segura heading out of Guardamar (classed as a naturist beach).Tusales beach can be reached in two ways, left off the N332 directly after the Marjal campsite (not sign posted) or taking the La Marina turn off and then second right. A trip to this beach is recommended.


		Panorama Photograph of the Dunas de Guardamar (dunes of Guardamar) .... Please wait for the flash movie to download - it may take some time depending on your connection speed - but the panorama shows the Dunas de Guardamar (dunes of Guardamar) in all its glory and is well worth waiting for. The photo starts at the Marina de las Dunas panning right, Playa del Vivers in the background. The photo demonstrates the sheer mass of the Dunas de Guardamar (not all of which is pictured) as the town of Guardamar appears on the horizon - then follows the high rise apartment blocks (some of which are built - some under construction), the rolling mountains inland can be seen and finally the River Segura on the far right of this Dunas de Guardamar panorama photograph.
