Free attractions that make Benidorm an attractive destination
Beyond the low prices on drinks and restaurants, Benidorm also stands out for the many free experiences offered to visitors.
Among the most popular attractions is Playa de Levante, the famous beach with fine golden sand, stretching for about two kilometers and awarded with the Blue Flag for the quality of water and services. Tourists have at their disposal public libraries on the beach, chess tables and medical points.
A quieter alternative is Playa de Poniente, a wider beach popular with families and those who want to enjoy swimming or spectacular Mediterranean sunsets under the shade of palm trees.
Between the two main beaches is Cala del Mal Pas, a small secluded cove, prized for its clear waters and intimate atmosphere.
At the same time, the Levante and Poniente promenades offer tourists over two kilometers of pedestrian routes, decorated with elements of urban art and panoramic points over the sea, being ideal for relaxing walks at any time of the day.
