Levante Beach is oriented toward the sunrise, contrasting with the sunset-facing Poniente Beach.
The beach is one of the most visited urban coastal sites in the Valencian Community, often hosting thousands of visitors simultaneously during peak season.
The promenade features a 'Walk of Fame' with handprints and plaques commemorating local and international celebrities.
Despite its urban location, the water quality is monitored daily during the peak season to maintain its Blue Flag status.
The beach is entirely man-made, with sand imported and replenished periodically to maintain its width.
Llevant Beach, or Playa de Levante, is Benidorm’s primary urban beach, stretching approximately 2 kilometers along the city's eastern coastline. The beach is characterized by its fine golden sand and a continuous promenade lined with high-rise hotels, restaurants, and nightlife venues. It faces south, ensuring significant sun exposure throughout the day. The Mediterranean Sea here is notably shallow, making it popular for families and casual swimmers. A distinctive feature is the Blue Flag designation, certifying high standards for water quality and environmental management. Lifeguard services and comprehensive public facilities, including showers and footbaths, are provided throughout the season. The shoreline is protected by a floating platform in the sea during peak summer months.

Rent a sunbed early in the day if you require shade, as the beach becomes crowded by midday.
Walk towards the eastern end near the 'Rincón de Loix' for a slightly quieter atmosphere compared to the central section.
Utilize the public footwash stations located at every ramp access point to manage sand before entering city streets.
Do not leave personal belongings unattended while swimming, as the high density of the beach makes it a target for opportunistic petty theft.
Lifeguard services are significantly reduced outside of the summer season.
Public nudity is prohibited; footwear is recommended on the promenade but optional on the sand.
