Benidorm Island
Illa de Benidorm
A triangular islet across the bay, part of the Sierra Gelada marine nature park. Visit by boat for snorkelling, or take a glass-bottomed boat to see the seabed.
Benidorm Island lies about 3 km off the coast. From almost any angle in the city, it looks like a floating triangle and is a local landmark silhouette. The island belongs to the Sierra Gelada Marine Nature Park, and its clear surrounding waters are good for snorkelling and diving. Gulls and cormorants live on the island. Ferries from the harbour below the old town take about 15–20 minutes. Some boats have glass bottoms, and a round-trip ticket costs about 20 euros. The island has one small restaurant and a simple walking trail. Boats stop running in strong winds, and in summer it is best to take the early departure.
