Alicante tram stops I use

My station notes for using the Alicante tram up the Costa Blanca, from the city center and El Campello to Benidorm.

On this page

The Alicante tram reaches beaches and coastal towns without a rental car. These are the stops I use between the city, El Campello, and Benidorm.

Planning brief

Using the Alicante tram

The tram connects central Alicante with San Juan, El Campello, smaller coves, and Benidorm. Use this page to choose a stop, then check TRAM d'Alacant for current service and works.

L1 for Benidorm

L1 is the limited-stop service from Luceros to Benidorm. Transfer at Benidorm for L9 toward Altea, Calp, and Dénia.

L3 for El Campello and the coves

L3 serves El Campello and smaller stops including Coveta Fumà and Cala Piteres. L1 passes those local stops.

L4 and L5 for Playa de San Juan

Use L4 or L5 for the long San Juan beach and the residential streets behind it.

Places in Alicante

Which stretch to ride

The Alicante TRAM is multi-line. The coastal corridor north of the city is shared by L1 (limited stops, faster, runs Luceros to Benidorm) and L3 (all-stops local, runs Luceros to El Campello). Smaller coves like Coveta Fumà and Cala Piteres are L3 stops only. Benidorm and Finestrat are L1.

Stretch Line(s) Use it for Notes
Luceros, Mercat, Marq - Castillo L1 / L2 / L3 / L4 (city-center interchange) City-center movement Useful if your hotel is near the rail station or the old town. The castle and market are the natural anchors
La Isleta and Albufereta L1 / L3 (north of Luceros) A short beach change without committing to a longer ride Good when Postiguet is too crowded but you still want to stay close
El Campello and Amerador L1 (limited) and L3 (all stops) Beach, marina, and Illeta dels Banyets El Campello has the main services. Amerador is quieter
Coveta Fumà and Cala Piteres L3 only Smaller coves and a quieter coastline L1 expresses past these stops. Check the walk from the platform. Some coves are easier than others in heat
Benidorm and C.C. La Marina - Finestrat L1 only (transfer at Benidorm to L9 for Dénia) Benidorm, shopping, and connections farther north Benidorm is the transfer point for L9

When I use the tram

I stay on foot for the old town, Castell de Santa Bàrbara, Postiguet, and the port. I use the tram for Playa de San Juan, El Campello, the smaller northern coves, and Benidorm.

This is my station-pin index, not an official timetable. I keep the broader network notes on the TRAM d'Alacant guide. Check TRAM d'Alacant before traveling for current times, transfer rules, service works, and ticket details.
