Enjoying the Best of Benidorm
Written by Albart Pujole
Costa Blanca is one of the most favorite holiday spots in Spain with Benidorm, Javea and Altea close by. Benidorm was well located near Sierra de Aitana and this puts the city into a great advantage as the majestic mountain range offers good protection from cold winter winds while offering refreshing breezes in the summer.
Benidorm is an ideal holiday location for everyone in the family; its charming beaches are idyllic for some great fun in the sun and sunbathers would not regret on their tan.
There are plenty of activities on the beach, in the water or at the city centre.
Beach offerings
The beaches at Benidorm are very popular with Poniente Beach and Levante Beach topping the list. A full 5 km of clean and soft golden sand awaits the visitors with a bigger crowd in the summer. Both these Benidorm beaches offer the modern amenities and facilities for a great summer holiday.
Levante Beach sports a wide promenade that has plenty of bars, cafés and restaurants to ease the hunger pangs or quench the thirst of visitors. There are plenty of water sports as well as beach activities which can be enjoyed on the beach.
Fun discoveries
Many tourists like to check out Peacock Island that is accessible in 10 minutes by boat. From afar, the island dons the image of a mystical rock but its inhabitants are the flora and fauna that keep the island beautiful.
A lot of scuba divers love a dip around Peacock Island with the rich marine life all around. This spot is also famous for the Peñon de Ifach which is a huge rock jutting out from the coast of Calpe. Peacock Island has been declared as a National Park for the preservation of 300 flora and fauna species. A challenging climb up a winding hill path would allow climbers a fantastic view of Calpe Town.
Benidorm is truly a family resort with several fantastic theme parks close at hand for the whole family to enjoy together. The theme park of Terra Mitica boasts of the longest wooden rollercoaster in the Mediterranean and several gigantic water rides and slides.
Vibrant nightlife
The day may be over but the night has only just begun at Benidorm. An ancient quarter of narrow streets have many pubs, bars, discos and clubs operating late into the night with music, live entertainment, dancing, drinks and food.
The night bursts into life with Spanish flamencos and live performances by magicians and jugglers in various parts of Benidorm.
