Cala Tio Ximo is a picturesque, small cove located at the foot of the Sierra Helada mountains in Benidorm, Alicante. This 60-meter-long beach combines sand, pebbles, and rocks, making it a haven for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts due to its crystal-clear waters. It is an unspoilt and secluded spot, perfect for those seeking tranquility away from the bustling larger beaches of Benidorm. The beach is accessible on foot via a scenic path that offers stunning views of the surrounding cliffs and Mediterranean landscape.
The cove is popular among both nudists and non-nudists, providing a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. The proximity to cliffs and the lack of strong currents make it a stable spot throughout the day, although it is recommended to visit early during peak months to secure a good spot. The immediate area lacks major amenities like beach bars and restrooms, adding to its natural charm.
Visitors can enjoy activities such as snorkeling, paddle surfing, or kayaking, which allow exploration of the nearby Sierra Gelada landscape and even reaching the Albir lighthouse. This tranquil setting is ideal for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet amidst the vibrant city of Benidorm.
