Benidorm beaches are widely recognised the whole world over for cleanliness, safety and beauty. This Spanish resort is host to two of the top beaches favoured by most foreign tourists who return every year to the Levante and Poniente beach to get that all over tan. However, even though both sea-sides get the thumbs up, other beauty spots in Spain (Costa Blanca) go unnoticed. For example not far from the center of Benidorm we have the small holiday resort of Albir located in the area of Alfaz del Pí.

Albir is not afar cry from Benidorm beaches because it is wedged between the town its self and Altea. Albir's beach is called "Playa de Racó de l'Albir" and is approx. 590 meters long, and holds the desirable European Union Blue Ribbon award since 2001.
