Benidorm´s beaches and selection of amenities explain why has it has become Costa Blanca´s main tourist town. Benidorm has some of the best beaches in the world. The clean fine sand and the quality of the services and the transparency of the water are the main reasons given by Benidorm´s many visitors.

Playa de Levante Benidorm, where most tourists gather, is about 2 km from the centre of the old town, the Sierra Gelada and Ricón de Loix. The Playa de Poniente is on the edges of the old town centre, near the Finestrat cove.

The Playa de Poniente is like the Playa de Levante, though it is a lot quieter. There is a cave between the Playa de Poniente and the old town, known as the Playa del Mal Pas, which can be reached by the port or from stairs that descend from the castle.

The historical centre is found near the Canfali vantage point, which is the most emblematic image of Benidorm with a white stone balcony and a vantage point. The church dedicated to St James the Apostle can also be found in this area.

The Levante beach can be reached from the Plaza del Castillo either by walking down through the beautiful narrow white streets, or through the town’s main commercial district. Benidorm´s impressive commercial shopping centre is located around the Plaza Triangular, the calle Martínez Alejos, Gambo, Dr. Perez Llorca. There is a very interesting walk that starts from the town hall and then runs parallel to the Playa de Levante by the side of Avenida de Alcoy and Avenida Madrid, this area is one of Benidorm´s most popular night spots.
