Benidorm's Most Beautiful Beaches
Playa Levante - The Most Famous and Liveliest!
The golden beaches are Benidorm's pride and joy and one of the city's biggest attractions. All the beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag.
Playa Levante is undoubtedly Benidorm's most famous beach, and perhaps even one of the most famous in Europe! Playa Levante stretches 2 km along the coast, from Rincon de Loix to Benidorm's historic center. Along the beach lies the charming Avenida de Madrid promenade, lined with shops, terraces, and restaurants. This combination makes Playa Levante a magnet for tourists from all over the world.
On Playa Levante, there are 10 different sectors where you can rent beach chairs and parasols. According to figures from the Benidorm Tourist Office, the beach has no fewer than 4,570 sunbeds. Renting a beach chair is not required. You can also bring your own chair, towel or umbrella if you find that more convenient.
Facilities for all ages!
Want to enjoy more than just sun, sea, and sand? Then take advantage of the various other facilities at Playa Levante! For families with children, there are various climbing frames, and for those who want to combine a relaxing day with an active workout, there are some fitness machines.
