Cala del Tio Ximo

Beach & nature FREE

Benidorm — Marina Baixa (Alacant)

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.
