Waterfront on this coast means several different things: a promenade apartment in Altea, a cliffside villa above a Mascarat cove, a frontline flat on one of Calpe's bays, or a berth-side home at Campomanes. Browse homes on and near the water.

Local insight
The four kinds of waterfront here
Promenade property sits directly on a seafront walkway — Altea's palm-lined paseo, Calpe's two bays — where you step out of the building onto the front. Cliffside property, concentrated in Mascarat and parts of the Altea coast, sits above the water with a private path down to a cove rather than a beach. Marina property clusters around Marina Greenwich at Campomanes and Puerto Blanco, where the appeal is the berth as much as the view. And near-front property sits one or two streets back, which is quieter in August, cheaper, and often has a better outlook from a higher floor. These are genuinely different products.
Quick FAQ
What is the Ley de Costas?
Spain's coastal boundary law, which restricts alteration and rebuilding within the public maritime domain and its protection zone. It affects a minority of frontline properties significantly.
Is frontline worth the premium?
For permanent residents who use the promenade daily, usually yes. For someone visiting a few weeks a year, an apartment two streets back is quieter and much better value.
Where can I find a home with a private cove?
Mascarat, mainly, between Altea and Calpe. It is the rarest category on this coast, and direct water access commands the highest premium of any feature.
Which area suits boat owners?
Mascarat and Campomanes, with Marina Greenwich and Puerto Blanco both close. Calpe's fishing port area is a secondary option.
Does sea air damage waterfront property?
Salt is hard on ironwork, glazing and external finishes. Ask when these were last maintained and factor higher upkeep into the running costs.
Are promenade apartments noisy in summer?
The fronts are busy through July and August. This is the main practical argument for buying one or two streets back rather than directly on the paseo.
The cost of the last hundred metres
The premium for true frontline is steep and worth interrogating. A first-line apartment with an unobstructed sea view can cost substantially more than an equivalent property two streets back — and the two streets back is usually quieter through the summer, since promenades are busy. The honest test is how much time you will actually spend there. For a permanent resident who walks the front every morning, frontline earns its premium. For someone visiting three weeks a year, it rarely does. Cliffside villas price on privacy and water access rather than beach proximity, and direct access to a cove is the rarest and most expensive feature on this coast.
Who buys on the water
Boat owners are the most clearly motivated group, and for them Mascarat and the Campomanes area are the obvious targets — a berth minutes from the house changes how the boat gets used. Permanent residents who want the promenade as part of daily life form a second group, and they are the ones for whom frontline genuinely pays. A third buys waterfront as an asset, since it is the most liquid and defensible category on this coast in a soft market. What we would flag is the seasonal buyer paying a frontline premium for three weeks of use, which is the most common expensive mistake we see here.
Where the water is best
Altea's promenade is the most attractive to walk and puts a real town behind you. Calpe's two bays give you sandy beaches on the north side and a shallower, more sheltered front on the south, with the fishing port and old town adjacent. Mascarat, between the two, is the most private stretch, all cliffs and small pebble coves with two marinas. Benidorm's Levante and Poniente offer a genuine city on the sand with year-round services. Each is ten to twenty minutes from the next along the N-332, so it is entirely practical to compare them properly over a couple of days.
The coastal law, and other checks
For anything genuinely close to the shoreline, have your lawyer check the property's position relative to the Ley de Costas — the coastal boundary law that limits what can be altered or rebuilt within the public maritime domain and its protection zone. It affects a minority of properties but affects them significantly. Beyond that, ask about salt exposure and when external ironwork, glazing and terraces were last maintained, because the sea is hard on buildings here. In frontline apartment blocks, read the community minutes for planned facade work. And if a listing advertises private sea access, establish precisely what that means on the ground.
