Cala Tío Ximo, Shingle beach in Benidorm, Spain.
Cala Tío Ximo is a shingle beach tucked into the Benidorm coastline, measuring roughly 60 meters long and 6 meters wide. It sits beneath steep cliffs of the Sierra Helada range, with a rocky seafloor that extends from the shore.
The cove has kept its natural appearance while the surrounding Benidorm coast underwent major development over recent decades. It remains one of the few spots here that has not been significantly altered or built upon.
Local snorkelers come here regularly to explore the marine life among the rocky bottom. The sheltered setting attracts those seeking a quieter beach experience away from Benidorm's busier areas.
The beach is reachable by local bus or private car, with parking available nearby. Being smaller and less crowded than central beaches, it is easier to find space, though morning hours tend to be less busy.
The transparent water allows visitors to see the rocky seafloor and its creatures with remarkable clarity from the surface. This makes it possible to observe small fish and other marine life without needing deeper diving skills.
