Guardamar del Segura, Mediterranean coastal municipality in Vega Baja del Segura, Spain.
Guardamar del Segura is a coastal municipality along the Mediterranean featuring approximately 11 kilometers of sandy beaches backed by dense pine forests at the Segura River mouth. The settlement combines natural landscapes with urban structures across relatively flat terrain.
The area originated as a Phoenician colony called Herna, documented by Roman geographer Avienus in his records of Mediterranean settlements. This early settlement influenced the region's long-term development.
This municipality marks the southernmost point in Spain where the Valencian language remains actively spoken in everyday life by residents. This linguistic presence shapes the character and identity of the community.
The Marina de las Dunas provides approximately 500 moorings and water sports facilities for visitors interested in maritime activities. The flat landscape makes navigation and exploration easy whether traveling on foot or by bicycle.
Starting in 1900, pine forests were deliberately planted along the coast to counter the advance of sand dunes threatening the settlement. This purposefully created woodland remains a defining feature of the landscape today.
