It is part of the municipality of Santa Pola, with some 12,314 registered residents in 2025, a third of the municipality, and a very international population; English is widely spoken. Its homes are mostly bungalows, terraced houses and villas, many behind a community gate, and the name of the urbanisation is the first thing to tell us. Some of them: - Monte y Mar - Puerto Marino - Altomar - Bahía Playa - Balcones del Mar - Brisas del Faro - Carabassí - Costa Hispania - Don Pueblo - El Faro - Nova Beach - Novamar - Panorama - Pino Mar - Sierra Mar Then the phase or block, the door number, and whether the community gate is open. [A short guide to giving an address in Gran Alacant](https://locksmithsantapola.es/blog/giving-an-address-in-gran-alacant/), and [what to do if it is the gate that keeps you out](https://locksmithsantapola.es/blog/shut-out-at-the-urbanisation-gate/). ## Santa Pola, from the fortress to the lighthouse The rest of the municipality, from the centre to the cape. For each part, what is built there and what helps us find you. ### The town centre the Glorieta · the fortress · the central market Blocks of flats over shops, round the 16th-century fortress and the town hall. Most front doors open off a communal street door. **To find you:** From June to mid-September the streets round the Glorieta close to cars in the evening, and all day on Sundays. Expect the last stretch on foot, so give the street and the nearest corner. ### The port and Varadero the fishing port · the marina · Varadero The fishing district by the harbour and the salt pans, with the boats to Tabarca leaving from the quay. Flats, ground-floor homes and businesses that face the water. **To find you:** Say which side of the harbour you are on, and whether you are by the boats or the beach. ### Playa Lisa, Tamarit and Gran Playa Playa Lisa · Playa Tamarit · Gran Playa The beaches south-west of the centre, lined with apartment blocks, several of them from the late 1960s and early 1970s, many on the first line. **To find you:** The name of the block, the stairway (escalera) and the door number save a lot of time. ### Santa Pola del Este Calas de Santa Pola Este · the coves towards the cape Villas and terraced houses above small coves, many inside private urbanisations with a community gate, gardens and a pool. **To find you:** Tell us whether the urbanisation gate is open, and who has the fob if it is not. ### The cape and the lighthouse Cabo de Santa Pola · Pueblo Levantino · Punta La Sierra The headland, 144 m high, with its lighthouse of 1858, and the small settlements on its slopes. **To find you:** A pin dropped on WhatsApp is the surest way to be found up here. ## The Elche coast, from Arenales del Sol to La Marina The beaches on either side of Santa Pola belong to the municipality of Elche, but they are closer to Santa Pola than to Elche city. These are covered day and night too: - **Arenales del Sol.** A small resort of second homes on the beach north of Gran Alacant: about one resident in five is foreign, many of them retired. - **El Altet.** The coastal village by Alicante–Elche airport, which lies inside Elche’s boundary. - **Los Balsares.** The strip behind the Carabassí dunes, between Arenales and Gran Alacant. - **La Marina.** The Elche village on the coast road south of Santa Pola, beyond the salt pans. Not covered: Elche city and its inland villages, Alicante, Tabarca and Guardamar. For those, a locksmith based nearer will reach you sooner, and we will say so on the phone. ## Every service, in every one of these places The same work is done on the cape, in town and on the Elche coast.

No. This service covers the municipality of Santa Pola and the Elche coast next to it, from Arenales del Sol to La Marina. For Elche city or Alicante, a locksmith based there will reach you sooner. ### What about Tabarca? Tabarca belongs to the municipality of Alicante and is not covered. If you lost your keys on a day trip there, the door back in Santa Pola is very much covered. ### My urbanisation is not on your list. Do you still come? If it is in Gran Alacant or anywhere in the municipality of Santa Pola, yes. The list shows the names people mention most, not all of them. Send a pin if in doubt. ### Is a call-out to Gran Alacant at night treated differently from one in town? No. Same service and the same way of agreeing the price. Only the drive differs, and you are told what it looks like before anyone sets off. ## Say the urbanisation, the block and the door Or drop a pin on WhatsApp. Either way, the right door gets found.
