Pistas Blandas; floating on Amazonas – a circular
soft current; and walking in the park’s green

Benidorm offers endless possibilities. From taking a walk on the promenaded to
swimming, water activities or just getting on a boat excursion to the
island of Benidorm.
All that without forgetting the local holiday celebrations and the
succulent gastronomy that specialises in rice dishes and seafood.
Benidorm
is one of the biggest tourist centres of the Costa Blanca. The
fine-sand beaches, the crystal waters and privileged climate have
granted this region —also equipped with a great infrastructure of
high-quality services— its well-deserved fame.
Doubtlessly, the beaches are one of Benidorms
greatest appeals. A five-kilometre coastline marked by vast sands and
secluded coves where one can enjoy a refreshing swim, as well as engage
in water sports, like scuba diving, water skiing, windsurfing and
sailing, etc.
Located to the north of the harbour, Levante
beach is one of the most beautiful in the city. Because of its urban
location, it provides easy access to many services and to two
kilometres of fine, golden sands. These emblematic sands are bordered
by a busy promenade, filled with terraces and restaurants that are very
lively at night.
To the south of the region, the Poniente
beach unfolds: three kilometres of beautiful scenery. As with the
Levante beach, this one has a long promenade as a backdrop and is
accessible and convenient, with many services available.
Between the two most famous beaches of Benidorm is the Mal Pas cove, a tranquil cove of fine sands, also near the historic quarter and the harbour.
In addition, Ti Ximo and La Almadrava emerge on the northern end of Benidorm,
where the coast becomes rough and inaccessible. Away from the urban
centre, these hidden natural coves allow visitors to retire from the
bustle of the city to enjoy scuba-diving in the magnificent, rocky
seabed.
