It's no wonder that the Museo Arqueológico is many Alicante visitors' favorite museum. In 2004, it won the esteemed European Museum of the Year Award by the Council of Europe. Plus it contains artifacts that date from the Paleolithic era to the contemporary, including the remains of a sunken Roman ship. It also has interactive exhibits, popular among older children and adults.
Tickets cost several euro, and you can visit this museum Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sundays and holidays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For further information, visit the official website.

2 of 7#1 San Juan Beach
You'll find this piece of shoreline just about 6 miles north of Alicante. Playa del San Juan is accessible by bus or tram, and it's known as one of Spain's best beaches, in fact, many travelers say it offers a better beach experience than you'll find at Postiguet. It's also pretty long (a little more than 4 miles), so you'll surely be able to carve out your own little space in the sand. And just behind the beach are restaurants, nightlife venues and even an 18-hole golf course.
One TripAdvisor user describes it like this: "Lovely soft, pebbleless sandy beach with all the facilities and safety anyone could want."
