It is bordered by the provinces of Murcia on the southwest, Albacete on the west, Valencia on the north, and the Mediterranean Sea on the east. The province is named after its capital, the city of Alicante.

Cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants in the province are Alicante/Alacant, Elx/Elche, Torrevieja, Orihuela, Benidorm, Alcoi, Elda, and San Vicente del Raspeig.
