Benidorm Island, also known as Isla de Benidorm or Peacock Island, is a small, rocky island located about 3.5 kilometers off the coast of Benidorm. It is a protected natural area with crystal-clear waters, making it a prime spot for snorkeling and diving. The island features a walking trail that leads to a small hermitage dedicated to the Virgin of the Sea, offering panoramic views of the Benidorm skyline and the Mediterranean. Visitors typically arrive by organized boat tours or private water taxis, which depart from Poniente and Levante beaches. The island is uninhabited, but its pristine beaches and coves provide a tranquil escape from the bustling city. The surrounding marine reserve is home to diverse fish and seabirds, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.
