Poniente, Golden sand beach in Benidorm, Spain

The three-kilometer Poniente Beach stretches along Benidorm's coastline, featuring fine light-colored sand and clear Mediterranean waters near the city port.

The transformation of Benidorm from a small fishing village to a major tourist destination began in the 1960s, with Poniente Beach playing a central role.

Local families gather at Poniente Beach throughout summer evenings for traditional Spanish beach games and community celebrations with regional music and dancing.

The beach provides numerous facilities including medical stations, rescue services, sports areas, rental equipment, and a wide range of accommodations along the shoreline.

The beach's shell-shaped bay creates naturally calm waters with minimal wave activity, making it particularly suitable for year-round swimming and water activities.
