‘Hidden’ Benidorm beach just 20 mins from new town – la Cala del Tío Ximo
La Cala del Tío Ximo is a wonderful hidden Benidorm beach for people who don’t enjoy crowds, or simply want some ‘me’ time. It’s one of my all-time favourite beaches to visit.
The Tío Ximo beach forms part of the Sierra Helada natural park, and is only 60m wide. That’s what makes it so incredibly special.
Definitely not your usual beach, the Cala del Tío Ximo is formed by rocks and dark sand. The sea is as clear as glass. Perfect for snorkelling.
Come September, it’s very hard to find anyone there – but in the summer it’s an all-day rotation of people hiding away from the busy city.
