Benidorm between Beaches, History and Nature

Benidorm between Beaches and History

Benidorm combines coastline, Roman heritage, nature, theme parks and public transport. This allows you to structure your stay around days at the beach, historical impressions, nature and entertainment. This range of options is a helpful starting point when choosing your hotel, without presupposing specific accommodation features.

Days at the Beach with Clear Points of Reference

Playa de Levante has more than two kilometres of fine, golden sand. Playa de Poniente is three kilometres long. The different lengths give you two concrete points of reference when planning your time by the sea and wanting to distinguish between extended stretches of beach. The two beach lengths create different time frames for a stay by the sea.

Benidorm has three accessible beach points: one at Playa de Levante on C/ Murcia, and two at Playa de Poniente on Av. Mont Benidorm and in Parque de Elche. If accessibility is important for your trip, you can deliberately include these three locations in your daily planning. The three accessible beach points add specific locations at Levante and Poniente to the coastal perspective.

Roman Heritage and Local Culture

The Castellum of Tossal de la Cala is a Roman fortification dating from the 1st century BC. If you are planning history alongside days at the beach, you can include this focus in your travel itinerary.

The Castellum of Tossal de la Cala has been converted into a museum and equipped with six explanatory panels in Spanish, Valencian and English. An appointment must be arranged in advance for a guided tour of Casa Museo L'Hort de Colón. When planning your day, this means you have both a historical site explained in several languages and a cultural appointment requiring a fixed booking in advance.

Nature and Leisure Activities

The coastal cliffs of Serra Gelada are more than 300 metres high. This striking dimension adds a natural accent alongside the sandy beaches and expands the possible focuses of a day in Benidorm. If you are weighing up the beach and the landscape, the stated height provides an objective measure for your choice.

Terra Mítica is a theme park where visitors can discover the ancient civilisations of the Mediterranean. Mundomar is a park with exotic animals, a dolphinarium and spectacular shows. Benidorm hosts several festivals throughout the year. The range therefore extends from the theme of the ancient Mediterranean through an animal park and shows to events held throughout the year.

Mobility and Choosing Where to Stay

Llorente Bus serves Benidorm with 18 routes. This is a concrete point of reference for planning your mobility if you want to organise the beach, historical attractions and leisure activities into different daily itineraries. The bus routes thus also form an independent framework for planning your days during your stay in Benidorm.
