The body of a woman was discovered floating in the waters off Benidorm on Tuesday morning. The scene is located near Levante beach, in the area close to Punta Llisera. Authorities have not yet identified the deceased, and the exact cause of death remains unknown. The finding prompted an immediate response from emergency and law enforcement agencies, with investigators treating the incident as a potential line of inquiry until more details emerge.
Emergency services received a distress call reporting a body observed in the water near the cable ski area along the Levante coast. Local Police arranged for rapid assessment, and the air unit of the security forces arrived at the scene shortly thereafter to conduct aerial reconnaissance. A drone was deployed to gather a clearer view of the area and to determine the positioning of the body offshore, initially described as resembling a man due to early visual impressions. As investigators continued to assess the situation, aircraft footage and on-site observations began to shape the ongoing understanding of the event.
The Local Police then coordinated with the city’s Rescue and First Aid Agency, which operates along Benidorm’s beaches, to secure the site and prepare for body recovery. The team was directed to the precise coordinates provided by the police, and a retrieval operation was executed to remove the body from the water. Subsequent checks confirmed the deceased as female. The transfer to the port of the city was arranged for further examination by judicial authorities and forensic specialists. The coroner participated in the removal process to ensure proper handling and documentation of the deceased for the subsequent autopsy and official inquiry.
Authorities indicated that the Air Unit continued monitoring the area and supported the investigation with additional drone surveillance. The objective was to search the Serra Gelada cliff area for any signs that could help identify the victim, such as personal belongings, affiliations, or indicators that might link the case to a specific individual. The investigation has been described as ongoing, with officials working to establish the sequence of events and potential factors contributing to the disappearance and death.
Local police sources stress that the inquiry will examine a range of elements including environmental conditions, possible injuries, and any witnesses or surrounding circumstances that could clarify how the incident occurred. The investigation team is coordinating with forensic experts and municipal agencies to build a clear and reliable account for the record. At this time, no additional information is available publicly, and officials request patience while the inquiry proceeds and responsible conclusions are drawn.
