Things to do in Benidorm beyond the beach

Skyscrapers aside, Benidorm is the best base in the Costa Blanca for a full day of parks — animals, water and a marine show.

Wildlife in the morning

Terra Natura is a cage-free safari park split into three continents, calm to walk in a couple of hours and great with kids — the ideal morning plan before the heat kicks in.

Water in the afternoon

For the afternoon, Aqualandia is still the Costa Blanca's flagship water park, and right next door Aqua Natura mixes family slides, a wave pool and sea lions. Book online and arrive early in July and August.

A marine show: Mundomar

If you're travelling with little ones, Mundomar adds dolphins, sea lions and exotic birds — a gentler, show-based park that pairs perfectly with the water day.

For the petrolheads

Travelling with someone who loves cars? The Motor Museum Benidorm is a short, different stop that breaks up a day of parks.
