Benidorm Island (Isla de Benidorm)
Natural parkThe Isla de Benidorm is the distinctive triangular island just off the resort’s beaches, and a short boat trip turns it into one of the easiest island outings on the Costa Blanca.
Why visit Benidorm Island
Boats run roughly every hour from Benidorm, and many tickets include a glass-bottomed or small-submarine view of the marine life on the way across. On the island a walking path climbs to the summit for fine views back over the bay, while the surrounding waters form a protected marine reserve popular for snorkelling and diving. A small café and a little rocky beach make it easy to spend a relaxed half-day there.
