Cala Tío Ximo

Cala Tío Ximo is a small cove in Benidorm with clear water surrounded by steep cliffs, featuring a mix of pebbles and sand. The narrow beach sits between high rock walls and offers a quieter setting away from the larger, more crowded shores.

The cove served local fishermen for centuries as a protected landing spot and safe anchorage on the Mediterranean coast. It retained its original purpose even as Benidorm transformed into a major tourist destination around it.

The cove is named after a local fisherman and reflects traditional Mediterranean coastal life through how visitors and residents interact with this sheltered spot today.

Access involves a short walk down from the N-332 road to reach the cove, with better walkability in dry weather conditions. Sunshades and loungers are available for rent from private vendors during warmer months, though this remains a natural beach setting.

The cove is known among divers as a spot for underwater observation where various fish species are commonly sighted. This marine variety makes it a favorite location for snorkeling visitors along the region.
