Yes, you can find budget stays near the beach in Alicante, like Hostal Milan starting at 30 EUR, though it's a few steps from the beach. The cheapest option on this page is Kenza Plage Hostel at 29 EUR, which offers a sociable, central location with beach access.
Melia Alicante is situated at the western end of Postiguet Beach, closest to the marina and the old town, making it convenient for exploring Alicante's historic center and dining options.

Alicante's beachfront scene is anchored by Postiguet Beach, a wide arc of sand that runs from the old town to the foot of Castle Santa Barbara. The hotels here cluster along the Paseo Marítimo, where the promenade's palm-lined walkway meets the marina and the echo of morning joggers. Staying here puts you steps from the sand, with the old town's tapas bars a short stroll uphill and the marina's restaurants a five-minute walk west.
The price gap between the beachfront and the rest of the city is stark: the three hotels directly on the front range from 254 to 375 EUR per night, all four-star and all rated 8.5 or higher, while a few blocks inland you'll find budget hostels from 29 EUR. What you're paying for is the morning view and the ability to roll out of bed onto the sand. For most travellers, the choice is between splurging on the front or saving and walking the few minutes from the old town.
These beachfront hotels suit travellers who want the sand outside their door and are willing to pay for the privilege. If you're on a tighter budget, prefer a central location in the old town, or need airport proximity, consider the Central hotels in Alicante page, which includes more affordable options like guest houses and hostels.
