Platgeta del Mal Pas is a charming beach nestled in the city of Benidorm, a popular tourist destination in Spain. Known for its picturesque scenery, this beach offers visitors stunning panoramic views of the old town of Benidorm and the Costa Blanca coastline. It is situated between the larger Playa de Levante and Port Benidorm, providing a more secluded and shielded environment for beachgoers. Despite its smaller size compared to neighboring beaches, Platgeta del Mal Pas is frequently bustling with activity, particularly during the summer season.
This beach is characterized by its clean, soft sandy shores and clear blue waters, which allow visibility of the seabed even at depth. The calm waters and gentle waves, coupled with the area's intense heat, have earned it the nickname 'the frying pan.' The tranquil environment and water clarity make it an attractive spot for families, sunbathers, and watersports enthusiasts.
Platgeta del Mal Pas is well-equipped with amenities to enhance visitors' beach experiences. There are foot washes available along the coast, and designated areas for visitors to place their sun chairs. For those who prefer, sun beds with umbrellas are available for hire. However, the beach lacks shower facilities.
Despite being conveniently located near many shops and restaurants, accessing the beach can be challenging due to limited parking, especially during peak times. There is only one road leading to the beach, which can get congested. Nevertheless, its location in the heart of Benidorm and its beautiful sidewalk make it an ideal spot for leisurely sunset strolls.
