What to see in Benidorm: the complete guide so you miss nothing

Nov 2, 2026 | Sin categoría

Benidorm is much more than sun and sand. Within just a few kilometres, this Costa Blanca city packs in enough to surprise any traveller, whether it is your first visit or you come back year after year. In this guide you will find the must-sees, the lesser-known corners and the practical tips that only locals know.

The old town and the Balcón del Mediterráneo

The historic heart of Benidorm keeps the feel of an old fishing village. Its narrow streets and white houses lead to the Balcón del Mediterráneo, the city's most iconic viewpoint, where you can see both Levante and Poniente beaches at once. It is the perfect place to start any visit and to understand why Benidorm wins over everyone who gets to know it.

The beaches: Levante, Poniente and the hidden coves

Benidorm's two big city beaches are the symbol of the city. Levante Beach, livelier and more central, is where most of the action is. Poniente Beach, longer and calmer, is perfect for families. If you are looking for something different, Cala del Tío Ximo and Cala de Almadrava offer a natural setting with crystal-clear water that the crowds rarely reach.

Serra Gelada Natural Park

Just a few minutes from the city centre, Serra Gelada Natural Park is a green escape of cliffs and spectacular views. The walk to the Albir Lighthouse is one of the most popular in the province of Alicante: easy, well signposted and rewarded with unforgettable views of the Mediterranean coastline.

Terra Mítica and the theme parks

Benidorm has a concentration of theme parks unlike anywhere else in Spain: Terra Mítica, Aqualandia, Terra Natura and Aqua Natura. For families with children or groups looking for thrills, they make for a full day out. Through Terreta Rentals, our guests can get tickets at a special discount.
