What To Wear In Benidorm
Benidorm has a warm climate most of the year round, but in the summer things really heat up. Of course we can recommend you and the boys getting lads holiday t shirts which will show everyone that you're up for a good time in Benni!
There are Benidorm T-shirts that will make sure you look the part which you can customise to look exactly how you want for that personal touch.
Other than that the usual t-shirts and vest tops will be worn, along with some sports shorts through the day and some smarter shorts on a night.
You can dress up in chinos and a shirt if you're going somewhere fancy, but usually it will be a case of dressing down.

There's two white sandy beaches, Poniente beach and Levante beach, being separated by the Old Town which is worth a visit.

If you prefer more of a city escape, the closest big city is Alicante, which you can get to by bus or car. You can go further afield to Valencia, the largest city in the region and worth a visit if you want some cityscape culture.
