In an effort to enhance the cleanliness and appeal of Benidorm’s sandy shores, Benidorm Town Council has embarked on an extensive beach cleaning initiative.
This initiative aims to prepare the beaches for the influx of tourists anticipated for the upcoming year’s events and showcase the town’s commitment to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and environmental care.
Benidorm beach clean up started on January 15 and will continue for a month
The cleaning process commenced on January 15 and continued for an entire month, taking advantage of the typically lower footfall during winter. Throughout the cleaning effort, various small repairs and enhancements were also executed.
Local councillor Monica Gomez stressed the importance of maintaining the exceptional quality of beach services that differentiate Benidorm from many other coastal towns. Notably, Benidorm is among the few towns across Spain that offers continuous beach services, including cleaning operations, lifeguards, and Accessible Beach programmes, year-round.
