Finestrat is a municipality in the Spanish province of Alicante in the Valencian Community with an area of 42 km². Finestrat has 6,090 inhabitants (1 January 2016).
Finestrat is built against Benidorm. It is possible to practice mountain sports, such as mountaineering, cycling or mountain hiking, because the mountain El Puig Campana is only a few kilometers away from the beach. Cala Finestrat is a beach that is located in the municipality of Villajoyosa next to Playa de Poniente in Benidorm and is very attractive due to its proximity to other small beaches that virtually connect these two towns.
It is a normal-sized beach (300 m) with fine, golden sand and clear, calm water, which is why it has been awarded the EU Blue Flag every year since 1988. It has an exceptional microclimate thanks to the fact that the beach is sheltered from the south wind by the mountains. Here you can practice underwater sports, water sports and beach sports, such as the international beach volleyball tournament that takes place in mid-August.
