Have a dose of seaside fun with a family trip to Benidorm

What are the best things for families to do in Benidorm?

Benidorm is a destination with lots to offer families, including beaches, waterparks, theme parks and more. For a fun day out during your family trip to Benidorm, take a boat ride to Benidorm Island. Youngsters are always fascinated by a trip on the sea, and the calm waters of the Mediterranean make the journey a very pleasant one. When you reach the island, try a "submarine" voyage - a glass-bottomed boat that allows you to get a great view of the sea bed, with colourful damselfish and sea bream swimming below. Make sure that your family holiday in Benidorm gives you time to explore the Old Town, too. Here you'll find Cala del Mal Pas, a quiet, family-friendly beach that has calmer surroundings than the famous Playa de Levante. Stop at the Balcón del Mediterráneo, Benidorm's famous lookout over the sea, for some great family pics.

Where should I stay for a family holiday in Benidorm?

Benidorm is roughly divided into two areas, the Old Town and the New Town. They have very different characters: as the name suggests, the Old Town is rustic and traditional, with more of a local vibe - and it's also the best base if you'd like to pair your trip with a food holiday in Benidorm, hopping between tapas bars and tasting paella by the harbour. On the other hand, the New Town is much more modern. It may not have that same traditional Spanish feeling, but it does have a lot more options for fun and entertainment. The New Town is also more accessible, with broad streets that are easier to handle if you've got a buggy or a kid on a scooter. You might want to avoid the Levante area when looking for holiday lettings in Benidorm. This is the epicentre of Benidorm's famous nightlife, which may be too noisy for your relaxing family adventure in Benidorm.
