One factor is becoming increasingly important as many Brits are looking for destinations to check out both budget-friendly boxes already soaked in the sun. That's the price of a pint. If you're looking for the ultimate beach vacation that won't break your bank, there's one place on the map, just as cheap as beer is refreshing.

At just £2.07 for a domestic pint and £2.90 for an imported beer bottle, it's perfect for those who are on track with their personal finances. With searches for “Alicante Holiday” rising 70% in the UK, this coastal gem is rapidly becoming a destination for budget-sensitive British destinations in search of affordable summer holidays.
