Levante Beach
Who doesn’t know Levante beach with its blue flag? Probably, if we go to a village of 100 inhabitants in the Alps and show a photo of Levante beach to any of its inhabitants, they would recognize it immediately. It’s an urban beach with fine sand and crystal-clear waters, surrounded by imposing buildings, with services such as sunbed rentals, foot showers, walkways, swings and children’s playgrounds, beach library…
It’s the most popular among visitors due to its characteristic and lively promenade and the wide range of restaurants and bars facing the sea. You’ll find people of all nationalities. Moreover, it’s the place par excellence for Benidorm’s nightlife as we find pubs like Penelope Beach, KU Lounge or KM, among others.
Additionally, here we find the first cable-ski circuit in the sea, where you can practice water skiing, wakeboarding and kitesurfing. It’s a 1,000 square meter area where up to 12 skiers can practice at the same time.
Poniente Beach
When we talk about beaches and Benidorm, we can’t forget Poniente beach (where the sun sets), the antagonist of Levante. And yes, it also has the Blue Flag distinction. This beach, over 3 kilometers long, is magnificent for swimming: fine sand under your feet, always clean and crystal-clear water, fun water platforms,… It has sunbed services, accessible walkways, volleyball nets and goals. The colorful Poniente promenade is completely renovated and has a bike lane and many places to have a drink facing the sea, enjoying Benidorm’s sun. Moreover, it has been awarded numerous international prizes for its avant-garde design.

Mal Pas Beach
The last of the beaches and the most curious and different. Highly photographed from the Castle Viewpoint. Surrounded by cliffs and next to the marina, Mal Pas is a charming urban cove with sand and clean water. It also has sunbed rental service and lifeguards, and of course, it has the Blue Flag.
Tio Ximo Cove
Less than 4 km from the campsite, we find a fine sandy cove in the heart of Serra Gelada or Sierra Helada Natural Park. Quiet, a charming cove, it’s the perfect place for snorkeling. Despite being small, you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds, and there’s also a lifeguard post.
La Almadraba / L’Almadrava Cove
Probably the least known of the coves (near Rincón de Loix) and, therefore, the most conducive to relaxation and rest. In the heart of the Sierra Helada natural park. A cove of sand and small rocks with transparent waters. Perfect for diving or snorkeling in Benidorm as it has rocky seabeds of great richness. Its size is between 60 meters and 100 meters. It’s also perfect if you want to practice naturism. During high season, there’s a sunbed and umbrella service.
Other Coves Near Benidorm and Other Nearby Beaches
If you’re looking for coves near Benidorm, we recommend the Finestrat Cove, although due to the number of people, it’s closer to being a beach. For a quiet cove, look for Cala del Metge, in Albir, which will give you the privacy that a beach doesn’t.
And if you’re looking for nearby beaches, the Albir beach, which has pebbles. It’s very well-known among regular visitors. Also the Bol Nou beach, in Villajoyosa, which also has a beach bar.
These Mediterranean beaches couldn’t have a better image on the horizon than the Island of Benidorm, where there are also areas suitable for swimming. It’s very easy to get there with boats that leave every hour.
Did you know that the beaches of Levante, Poniente, and Mal Pas are awarded the Blue Flag and the Q for Quality every year? These distinctions recognize their quality and excellence in conservation and services. What wonderful beaches!
We don’t need to tell you that you can enjoy the beach all year round due to the city’s mild climate, even in winter. Isn’t it wonderful to take walks during sunsets and sunny mornings during Benidorm’s “winter”?
