Getting to and around Benidorm cheaply

There are plenty of cheap flights to Alicante, the nearest airport to Benidorm. From Alicante, you can take a taxi from the airport which costs around £11. Transfers can also be pre-booked on the internet. There is a frequent direct bus that leaves from bus stop 30 near the airport which again is very cheap.

Once you are in Benidorm, it's easy enough to explore on foot. If you want to get out of town and explore, the best way is to hire a car. There's also a FGV train that you can take to Alicante for a day out.

Beaches in Benidorm

Benidorm is famous for its fantastic beaches, white sand and lovely warm seas. There are at least five kilometres of beachfront here. The busy Playa de Poniente Beach is next to a busy road in the centre of Benidorm, so if you fancy somewhere quieter then head for the Levante Beach.

There are plenty of cheap seafront cafes, many of which sell English fare, and there's even a beach library with newspapers and books. For something different, take a boat to the Isla de Benidorm, an island just two miles off the coast, for an excursion.

Low-cost sightseeing in Benidorm

There's not much left of the Old Town Benidorm although it is worth a little wander for its shops and boutiques. For cultural sightseeing, you might want to head to Alicante where you can walk the palm tree-lined boulevards, check out the castle and hit the beach for the day or take a trip along the coast.

One treat for the whole family right in Benidorm is the cheap and fun water park, Aqualandia. It boasts themed areas, waterfalls, slides and chutes. Cafes and restaurants also dot the park, which is easily accessible from the resort.

Eating cheaply on Holiday in Benidorm

With pubs like the Pig & Whistle, and the King's Arms dotted around the streets of Benidorm, you can imagine there's no problem getting hold of egg and chips, or a helping of shepherd's pie. Fancy a pizza or a curry? No problem, Benidorm's restaurants can cater for everything. If you want to try something more Spanish, the best bet is the Old Town, where restaurants offer more local specialities and excellent tapas.

At night, Benidorm comes alive with masses of bars, clubs, restaurants and cafes opening their doors to tourists, and don't worry about going home early, this is a town that likes to party until dawn.

Cheap Shopping in Benidorm

Think leather and you'll get plenty of ideas from jackets to belts and shoes. Benidorm's prices tend to be cheaper than back home. Check out the Passeig de la Carreterra, and the alleyways nearby for bargains. For footie fans, there's an official Barcelona Football Club shop here to get the latest shirt.

Alternatively, families love Terra Mitica, a theme park with a Mediterranean theme which claims to have the longest wooden roller coaster in Europe, as well as other thrill rides for all the family.
