Benidorm is one of the most complete beach destinations in the Mediterranean. Although it is known for its lively atmosphere and its iconic skyline of skyscrapers by the sea, what truly makes it special is the variety of beaches and coves it offers: from wide urban sandy beaches with full services to quieter natural spots surrounded by nature.

If you are staying in the area, these are the best beaches you should not miss.

Levante Beach: energy, life and atmosphere all year round

Playa de Levante is probably the most famous beach in Benidorm. It is a wide, lively beach, perfect for those looking for a vibrant atmosphere, water sports, and a large selection of beachfront bars and restaurants.

Best things about Levante Beach:

- Lively atmosphere throughout the day

- Ideal for water sports (paddle surfing, jet skis, etc.)

- Wide range of restaurants and nearby nightlife

- Perfect for travellers who want to be “in the heart of everything”

Poniente Beach: quieter and perfect for relaxing walks

Playa de Poniente is the more relaxed option. It is larger, quieter and highly appreciated by families and couples looking for rest and relaxation.

Best things about Poniente Beach:

- Less crowded than Levante

- Ideal for long seaside walks

- Family-friendly and relaxed atmosphere

- Children’s playground areas

- Spectacular sunsets

Mal Pas Beach: small, central and full of charm

Between Levante and Poniente you will find Playa del Mal Pas, a small and cozy cove located very close to the old town.

Best things about this cove:

- Central location and very easy access (no car needed)

- More intimate atmosphere

- Perfect for a quick and peaceful swim

- Generally very clean water
