Cala del Tio Ximo
A small cove of sand and rocks about 60 metres long, hidden at the northern end of Benidorm beside Rincón de Loix and at the foot of Serra Gelada. Its calm, clear waters make it one of the town's best spots for snorkelling and diving, away from the bustle of the main beaches. It keeps a sheltered, natural feel.
Barely 60 metres of sand and rock at the northern end of the city, beside Rincón de Loix and at the foot of Serra Gelada: this is the Cala del Tio Ximo, one of the quietest swims in Benidorm.
Why come
The water is usually still and clear, ideal for snorkelling and diving: wade in a few metres and you will see fish among the rocks. Away from the atmosphere of the big beaches, calm prevails here.
For your visit
- There are barely any facilities: bring water and a snack.
- Water shoes: the bottom is rock and pebble.
- Parking is scarce, so arrive early.
Very close by lies the Cala de l'Almadrava, another clear-water cove for those who love the seabed.
