Located on the Castellón coastline in the county of La Plana Alta, Benicasim is a seaside destination with so much to offer. Boasting excellent beaches, elegant Art Nouveau villas and a natural park of remarkable beauty, it has everything you could dream of for the perfect Mediterranean holiday. Come with us to explore its hidden seaside treasures.
What to see in Benicasim
To kick off the tour around Benicasim, let's start by visiting Santo Tomás de Villanueva Parish Church in the historic centre. Its simple yet elegant exterior evokes a sense of serenity before even stepping inside. Wandering along the old streets, you’ll eventually reach the maritime district. The first place to visit here is the 16th-century San Vicente Tower. This watchtower continues to survey the coastline, gazing out over the horizon.
At the foot of the tower lies Sant Vicent Tower Beach. Wander along the sandy shoreline and you’ll reach L’Almadrava beach and Voramar beach. As you walk along the seafront, you’ll begin to admire the beautiful Art Nouveau villas, built between the 19th and 20th centuries. A signposted route is available to give you a greater insight into these fine examples of this notable architectural movement.
These picturesque houses are one of Benicasim’s prime attractions. Delve deeper and find out how they came about. We then recommend sampling Carmelitano liqueur, one of the local delicacies, which you can try on a guided tour around a distillery.
The list of things to do in Benicasim continues with some fun outdoor activities. First, let's climb up to Montornés Castle, which sits atop a mountain in the incredible Desert de les Palmes Natural Park. The remains of this 10th-century fortress afford spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the Mediterranean Sea.
This mountainous natural park, dotted with rocky crags, is also home to the remains of a Carmelite monastery, which form part of the fairytale landscape. Bring your camera and choose the hiking trail that best suits you.
Last but not least, we know the ideal tourist activity to do with the family in Benicasim. How does cycling or walking along the coastline between Oroposea and Benicasim sound? This part of the Vía Verde del Mar - a former railway line and now coastal path - offers stunning sea views and is a great place to explore with the kids.
