Hotels near Puerto de Alicante

Alicante's port and marina wrap around the southern edge of the centre, just across from the Explanada. The working harbour handles cruise ships and the Tabarca and Balearic ferries, while the marina berths pleasure boats and yachts against the backdrop of the castle hill.

The Muelle de Levante quay has been redeveloped with waterfront restaurants, bars, and a casino, making it a lively spot after dark. By day it is where you board the Tabarca ferry or a bay cruise, and a pleasant place to walk out for uninterrupted views back at the city and fortress.

Pro Tip: Walk to the end of the Levante quay for the best photo of the castle rising above the marina. It is also the departure point for Tabarca, so time a harbour stroll with the ferry.
