Benissa’s ecological walk
Mid summer brings the heat, but that doesn’t stop curious walkers. The coastline offers a refreshing alternative: a coastal path that begins at the sea and winds along rocky shores to reveal a series of coves and viewpoints. The route is punctuated with multiple access points, making it easy to tailor the walk to fit one’s energy level rather than forcing a full circuit every time.
The path rewards visitors with dramatic Mediterranean panoramas. It is a gentle, easy-to-follow route suitable for families, with enough shade and benches along the way to rest and enjoy nature without fuss.
The Benissa Ecological Walk is renowned for its striking scenic beauty. The route combines sea spray, rugged cliffs, and tranquil coves that invite careful exploration and quiet contemplation.
Along the way there are shaded sections and intimate nooks with benches and tables, ideal for a mid-journey pause to snack or drink something while the sea breeze cools the skin.

The walk passes one inviting bench after another, providing places to rest while taking in the sea views and listening to the waves.
