The beach of Finestrat, known as La Cala Finestrat, is just three kilometres away from Benidorm.
It actually belongs to three municipalities; Benidorm, La Villajoyosa and Finestrat. It is very much in contrast with the village, with tall buildings and a built-up urbanisation.
The beach itself is clean, golden, and sandy, with a safe swimming current, which makes it perfect for families. It is also one of the first smoke-free beaches in the Valencian Community, so smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited.
Finestrat beach restaurants with a view
It is very popular with tourists, particularly during the summer months, although it doesn’t get as busy as the neighbouring Benidorm beaches.
Its seabed is rich with eye-catching fish, corals, and underwater caves, making it popular for snorkelling and diving.
There are plenty of cafes and restaurants surrounding the beach area, offering a delightful variety of dishes.
From delicious seafood to traditional dishes like the ‘coca girada,’ a kind of poached wheat flour paste containing vegetables, sausage, fish, and salted fish.
