| Benidorm Costa Blanca Spain Benidorm's reputation is one of all day and night partying! Perhaps it deserves this reputation for all the Hen parties and Stag nights that take place here. However, it is a happy place to visit so don't be put off if you are not a night owl. We saw many pensioners riding on their hired scooters - only in Benidorm!  One thing you must be careful of is making sure that you pay for parking. The machines are not always immediately visible so do ask a passer by or walk down the street.

| Beaches of Benidorm Spain |
The Costa Blanca region of Spain is a tourist mecca with gorgeous beaches, many days of sunshine annually, plenty to see and do, plus loads of restaurants
Benidorm has beautiful Blue Flag beaches - Playa de Levante and Playa de Poniete. The viewpoint of "Punta Canfali" divides the two beaches. The view point is divided into two parts - the upper area has benches and rest areas and then some fairly steep steps take one down to the area closer to the sea.

This area is the site of the castle that was built in 1325 to ward off attacks by Algerian and Berber pirates in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. Partially demolished in the 15th century, repaired and then totally destroyed during the War of Independence in the 19th century. The current viewpoint balustrades were designed for the town of Benidorm and have become an iconic sight for tourists.

The promenades along the beaches boast many shops and restaurants and offer lovely walks taking in the sights. Great for people watching while having a meal, beer or coffee. The vibe is happy and carefree - ideal for holidays in the sunshine. The beaches are protected from storms by the bay and the surrounding mountains.
All in all, this coast of Spain is well worth a visit at least once if not more than once!
