I went with my younger sister . We were feeling very safe but we were afraid of the main beach in Alicante because I heard there are many robbers and If you leave your stuff alone in the middle of the beach it can be stolen

Alicante is Super safe, nothing to fear of! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 You can walk everywhere, even at night, it's really a good place to be if you are a woman travelling alone, no worries to have about this, I even go out alone in clubs from time to time.
Posted: May 16, 2025I felt super safe these past two weeks, even when I went to the bus stop at 2am. I also usually walk at night and I never felt unsafe. Regarding the use of my cell phone, I never felt like I was being watched, not at all.

Alicante is a safe city. you have nothing to be worried about the safety. I have been living my whole life in this city and I have never had a problem, you just need to take logical precautions like in any other city

Hello, i am from Alicante and I have always felt safe. If you’re at a party or the beach, just keep an eye on your bag, but nowadays, that’s something you need to do everywhere. In the city center and nearby areas, you won’t feel like it’s an unsafe place or surrounded by people with bad intentions. There is a very good atmosphere. :)

I travelled to Alicante with my younger sister. We spent about one week there. We felt safe, We were walking on the streets and beaches even by night. We had a hostel in the same center so We had very close distance to everywhere.
Posted: June 30, 2025Experienced: July, 2024I arrived very late in the night, it was not a good idea because the public transport doesn't work all night Only buses and they come every 30min So, preferably come early I felt safe walking late afternoon/early in the night, I was the entire trip alone The beaches are not very clean 😞 But I find a couple of them a bit outside Alicante and they were better
