The Marina, La Escuera and El Oasis housing developments make up the most important residential and tourist areas of San Fulgencio. San Fulgencio is rich in archaeological heritage and is situated in the heart of the El Molar mountain range.

San Fulgencio itself is still a small peaceful and charming farming village and this is where the local schools are situated. Whilst the above urbanisations are filled with people from all different countries, many of the residents live here all year round, whilst others come to enjoy for their vacations. The blue flag white sandy beaches of La Marina village are only a few kilometres away by car and there is also a bus service during the summer months.

For those that seek shade in the hot summer months there are picnic areas in the dunes adjacent to the beach. The facilities on offer are excellent for example, medical centre, emergency centre (police and ambulance) tourist information office, post office, social centre, public transport links, shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars and many recreational areas. There is also a Municipal Sports Centre in San Fulgencio and many sports facilities in the urbanisations.

There is also a go-kart track a short drive away and also in El Oasis there is a natural park which offers a football pitch, bowles area, terrace with panoramic views, BBQ's, picnic areas, public toilets and washing-up facilities and child play area. The local market is held on Thursday and Sundays and as all Spanish markets you can buy just about everything, but especially shoes as the nearby city of Elche is where many of the Spanish shoes are made.

The airport of Alicante is 20 minutes away and San Javier about 35 minutes, both of these airports are served by the low cost airlines arriving daily from the UK.
