A Guide To The Beaches Of Benidorm

You’ll pass a lot of interesting sights on your journey from Alicante Airport to Benidorm, but one of the things you’ll notice is the beaches. Known for its fine weather and massive tourist scene, Benidorm really is the place to be if you’re looking to relax on golden sands. Here are some beaches you should be sure to visit.

Cala de Mal Pas

If you’re somebody who likes to avoid the busier crowds, consider heading to Cala de Mal Pas, a secluded sandy spot hidden below the famous Balcón del Mediterraneo viewpoint. There are plenty of rocks sheltering this beach from strong winds, which provides ample opportunity for rock pooling – this also means you can sit and enjoy the sound of the waves from the cool of the shade these rocks provide.

The waters at Cala de Mal Pas are clear and usually quite calm, so those who wish to try out snorkelling are in the perfect place.

Playa de Poniente

Locals and tourists alike adore this beach, and you’ll probably recognise it after driving from Alicante Airport to Benidorm – it’s one of the biggest in the whole resort. Providing all the facilities needed for a great day out, this stop is ideal for any kind of traveller… unless you aren’t a fan of the crowds, that is!

Cala Tio Ximo

Looking for something a little different? Cala Tio Ximo is a small beach that can be found at the foot of a rocky hill – however, the journey down is not advised if you have young children. Boasting some amazing viewpoints, a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of opportunities for exploration, this is the perfect place for adventure seekers and nature lovers.

Playa de Levante

If you aren’t afraid of joining the bigger crowds, head to Playa de Levante, one of the most popular beaches in the resort. This easily accessible spot is close to the main town and has everything you could need for a full day of soaking up the sun. Those who want to stay after sunset are well catered for too, as there are plenty of bars and other nightlife joints dotted around just metres from the sand. 

Kids will love the clear, shallow waters, and parents can rent sunbeds if they fancy a couple of hours relaxing in the pleasant heat. There are many water sports activities available here too, so everyone in the family can make the most of the facilities.
