Platja del Mal Pas
A small urban beach about 120 metres long tucked between the two big ones, at the foot of Canfali hill beside the old town. Sheltered below the Castle rock, it offers a calm swim a step from the historic centre and flies the Blue Flag. It is ideal for a relaxed break without leaving Benidorm's most characterful streets.
Between Levante and Poniente beaches hides a third, far quieter one: the Platja del Mal Pas, about 120 metres of sand at the foot of Canfali hill beside the old town of Benidorm.
What makes it special
Sheltered below the Castle rock, it offers a calm swim a step from the historic centre and flies the Blue Flag, a mark of water and service quality. It has a seafront promenade and views of the city skyline, and it is the easy choice when you don't want to stray far from the most characterful streets. Being small, it fills up early in August, so come at the start of the day.
The surroundings
Right above sits the Balcón del Mediterráneo, the most photographed lookout in Benidorm, and to one side begin the northern coves.
