Lying very close to the beach, the city often got large blast of sandstorms within the years. Therefore it had been decided to plant a large forest alongside, which is now known as the dunes of Guardamar. Attracting an enormous amount of wildlife over the time, the area is now an environmentally protected area.

The created area is the smallest natural park in Spain called Park Alfonso XIII. Together with the little park of Reina Sofia close to the city center, Guardamar is really a wonderful place to totally relax and enjoy a perfect day.
