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.
