Plan your route through the coves from the center of Benidorm

To make the most of these coves, the location of your accommodation is key. Apartamentos Paraíso Centro offers that perfect blend of quality and location. Being situated in a quiet residential area, without noisy commercial premises, they guarantee rest after a day of exploration. Additionally, you will be just a 5-minute walk from the Plaza Triangular, the nerve center from where you can easily move towards any point on the coast.

These are the best coves in Benidorm

Are you looking for small, charming beaches that aren’t too crowded? Well, we can tell you that in Benidorm, that is also a reality, although not as well known. Here we are going to reveal those that are, in our opinion, the best coves in Benidorm and coves near Benidorm that you cannot miss on your next vacation on the Costa Blanca.

Cala de Finestrat

Finestrat, a town in Alicante located between Benidorm and Villajoyosa, has only one beach: Cala de Finestrat. Due to its location between these two highly touristy points, it is in high demand by travelers, although it is not usually excessively crowded. It is a 270-meter bay that offers spectacular scenery, with fine sand, crystal-clear waters, and small corners on the cliffs with views of the entire surroundings.

Water sports can be practiced, and it is also ideal for children, as it usually has free activities in summer. It is located 10 minutes by car from the center of Benidorm.

Cala del Mal Pas

One of the main attractions of this cove is its proximity to the island of Benidorm and the underwater platform called La Llosa. This makes the seabed in this area rich in biodiversity and, therefore, highly sought after by divers. If you like diving or snorkeling, be sure to visit this beach with the appropriate equipment.

It is a Blue Flag beach about 120 meters long, with a lifeguard and the possibility of renting sunbeds and umbrellas. You will find it just over 5 minutes by car from the center of Benidorm city, next to the marina.

Connection with the Mediterranean Balcony

Just above Cala del Mal Pas is one of the most photogenic spots in the city. We recommend visiting the Mediterranean Balcony before heading down for a swim. From our accommodation in Benidorm, you can reach it by taking a pleasant walk through the old town, enjoying the local architecture and the vibrant atmosphere of the shopping streets.

Cala Almadrava

This cove is 100 meters long and has some rocks, which only add more charm and keep away tourists who prefer fine sand, so you can enjoy this piece of the Mediterranean with more tranquility. It is right at the foot of the Sierra Helada Natural Park, so you will have views of the sea and the mountains in one place. Speaking of the sea, the waters in this area are very clean and transparent, which is why it is a very interesting cove for diving. It has a lifeguard service, but no sunbeds or umbrellas.

It is important to know that access is not easy, as it involves a descent from the Punta L’Escaleta viewpoint and there is no defined and maintained path. To reach this point from the city center, it will take just over 5 minutes by car.

Cala Tio Ximo

Finally, Cala Tio Ximo. This relaxed beach at the foot of the Sierra Helada is very quiet, perfect for relaxing in its warm and crystalline waters, so be sure to visit it. Despite being very close to the center of Benidorm, it is nestled between cliffs, which is perfect for disconnecting from the city’s bustle without going too far. However, it is preferable to arrive early to avoid having to fight for a square meter of sand. It’s not that it’s a very crowded beach, but its size is really small: 60 meters long.

To access this cove, it is necessary to walk down from the Punta L’Escaleta viewpoint (the same starting point as Cala Almadraba, as they are neighboring coves), which is why we also recommend caution and appropriate footwear. If you have the chance, bring your fins and goggles so you can do some diving. The marine life is impressive!

Guaranteed rest after your day at the coves

After a day exploring the cliffs of Sierra Helada, there’s nothing like returning to a home away from home. Our 2-bedroom apartments are oriented towards the sea, allowing you to continue enjoying the views from your own terrace. The simple and functional decoration, along with a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee maker and microwave, gives you the freedom to organize your family dinners in total privacy.

Extra: Cala del Metge

This cove deserves a special mention, even though it is not exactly in Benidorm. In the Sierra Helada Natural Park, in Albir (just 15 minutes by car from Benidorm), we find Cala del Metge, or Doctor’s Cove. It is an almost virgin, semi-nudist beach with difficult access, featuring incredible seabeds and picture-perfect landscapes.

It is a rocky beach, so it is not the typical beach of the area: there are no children playing and you will hardly see anyone lying down. But it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful coves near Benidorm!

Comfort and services for your adventure in the coves

If you are traveling by car to visit more distant coves like Cala del Metge, you will be happy to know that at Apartamentos Paraíso Centro we have the possibility of private parking in the same building. Forget about driving around looking for a spot when returning from the beach. Additionally, being just 5 minutes from Levante Beach, you can alternate days at the coves with days at the urban beach with all services.
