- Sarah SBristol, United Kingdom37 contributionsHidden GemAlways love visiting this place, great views over benidorm, must see at night when all lite up. Check out the little beach below, My happy place when I go to Benidorm, just to sit on the rocks and watch the waves crashing on the beach, also mainly Spanish as it's tucked out the way. A hidden gem.Visited December 2023Traveled soloWritten February 9, 2024

Walking through Castell Square, gazing over the Balcony of the Mediterranean is always a pleasure.

A pentagon structure above the sea, with what looks like a compass rose on the ground, providing a beautiful view of the city and sea. Next to a square with two large sculptures by a local artist. Worth the visit.

This is probably the best location in Benidorm 🇧🇯 to get your perfect picture's of the sunset or for just that amazing picture.
The area has been completely renovated since we were last here in November now its finished.
On this occasion 6th January a professional photographer was spending a few hours here trying to entice tourists to get your perfect photograph and he would print it out their and then for you for only €2.00, he would take a few from different positions depending on the views and best scenic setting.
He mentions he comes down most days so if your around its worth getting.
I also took this opportunity to do a memorable video of all the family as this is just the perfect location.

It is becoming fashionable in bars in Benidorm to serve customers as if it were a car wash. Instead of entering the bar and waiting for your turn, they want you to queue outside the bar until it's your turn. Some even have a "ticket office" where you order, pay and then pick up your order at the counter. It is clear that it is much more profitable for them because they do it with a couple of waiters (they do not serve at tables either), but that is not a bar, it is a food stand. I personally don't go on those sites. There are those who do not hide anything. A watering hole.

A "must" visiting place in Benidorm!! Beautiful view of both beaches: Levante and Poniente. Highly recommend to go there around sunset time. It's awesome experience to watch the Mediterranean sea sunset. After sunset, the environment there was so romantic with warm street light on and lovely street music. Without saying it's a wonderful place for those photo freaks!!!!

Benidorm Old Town was originally a fishing village. The natural stone cliff, known as Punta Canfali, divides the coast into two main beaches.
A castle was built here in 1325. This fortress was at a strategic point where it was possible to watch the ships coming. However, in the war of independence, the English fleet demolished the castle by firing from their ships' cannons.
This area is now called the Mediterranean Balcony. Here you can find Castell square, a small monument of 4 cannons and great panoramic views.

Bit of a walk up the hill for my Mum, but absolutely worth it. Breath-taking scenery from up there, where you can see both Levante and Poniente. If you walk to the end, there are some steps down that tak you out to sea, absolutely beautiful! As far as I could see, not wheelchair friendly, but well worth it if you can get some help up the stairs!

hi, Poiniente beach area... although if elderly people are going you may want to stay in the middle of Benidorm where you will be more central & easier for walking
The Old Town is wonderful & worth a visit however... have a wonderful time!!
