Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Alicante marina below the Explanada, several times the start port of The Ocean Race. The local classics: Tabarca, Spain’s oldest marine reserve, San Juan beach and the coast towards Cape Las Huertas. High season: from May to October, with rentals viable nearly year-round.
