Benidorm Island

Island Small rocky islet off Benidorm coast, scuba destination

A small islet off Benidorm reached by short boat trips for snorkeling, swimming and seabird observation; popular half-day excursions depart the resort’s harbour.

Benidorm Island is a small islet off the coast of Benidorm in the Valencian Community of Spain, lying a short distance offshore from the town’s beaches. It is a visible coastal landmark and a common target for short boat excursions.

The island’s shorelines and clear surrounding water attract recreational boat trips, snorkeling and diving; it is also used as a navigational reference by local fishermen. There are no permanent settlements on the islet and landings are typically brief and tourist-oriented.

Historically the islet has served as a maritime waypoint for the local fishing community rather than as a site of permanent habitation. Today its main role is recreational and as a visual feature off Benidorm’s coastline.

Benidorm Island sits just off the shore of Benidorm in the province of Alicante on Spain’s Costa Blanca, directly offshore from the town’s beaches and easily visible from the Benidorm promenade.

Access and activities: Small and uninhabited, it is reached by short tourist boat trips from Benidorm and is a local focus for snorkeling and diving close to the shore.
