Landmark · Hidden Gem · Tourist Spot
Balcon del Mediterraneo, also known as the Benidorm overlook, divides two beaches and offers a great view over the sea. Only a few meters from the rock, a geyser shoots a jet of water up into the sky. Imagine the castle of centuries past, which sat atop this rock defending against Arab pirate attacks for 300 years. Take a seat on one of the many benches and appreciate the sights. Not far from the shore lies an uninhabited island you can admire from the overlook. Our Benidorm trip maker tool makes visiting Balcon del Mediterraneo and other Benidorm attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

    It is beautiful here. Luckily I have been here before as at the moment it is not open to public due to some construction I think. But still enough to area to enjoy the views.

    This is a cool place to visit in Benidorm. Specially with your partner or family. Great place to take photos. Free and very pleasant as well.
  • By Shauna Herron
    Looks great from the beach below, and from a boat out at sea, but it’s currently under construction so you can’t actually get on it xD Unlucky
  • By Emilia K
    Must see! Amazing views. You could see both beaches. There is a gentleman playing guitar, so it good to stay and enjoy music and views at the same time. Nice restaurant next to it. Prices are cheap, portion good and drinks are amazing. Worth to stay there for a bit.
