Benidorm beaches - the Levante and the Poniente

The best beaches in Spain? Benidorm's beaches are justifiably famous and the resort's continuing success owes much to those fabulous golden crescents. Stretching for a luxuriant six kilometres from Levante Beach in the east to Poniente Beach in the west, consistently high quality blue flag bathing, lifeguard patrols, a wealth of water sports and an impressive approach to cleanliness mean these beaches are among the best in Europe. Each has its own particular character so take your pick:
Levante
This is the sandy holiday hub for those who're out for fun and frolics, and is known as the sunrise beach.
Poniente
Beyond the Old Town to the west of LEVANTE, it comprises a mammoth golden curl of excellent fine sand. Huge!.
Malpas
You'll find this beach close to the harbour, beneath the port and the castle cliffs.
