Bedste strande i Benidorm

Best Beaches and Coves

Benidorm's coastline offers a contrast between expansive urban beaches and rugged natural coves. The three-kilometer Poniente Beach provides a wide sandy shore with a modern promenade, while the smaller Mal Pas Beach sits tucked beneath the Old Town's cliffs. To the east, the Sierra Helada Natural Park shelters Tio Ximo and Almadrava, two secluded coves characterized by rocky terrain and clear waters. Nearby, Cala de Finestrat serves as a distinct sandy bay separated from the main resort area by a rocky headland.
