What to see in Benicarló: Day 1

To start your fabulous Benicarló getaway, we suggest beginning with a tour of the town centre, packed with iconic sites such as the old prison, the Renaissance-style town hall, beautiful Casa Bosch and its Art Nouveau façade, the Baroque mansion of the Casa del Marqués, San Bartolomé Apóstol Parish Church and much more. For architecture enthusiasts, Benicarló has countless delightful corners worth photographing!

You can also visit the ruins of the old city walls or see the interior of a traditional house, the Casa Benicarlanda or Casa de Santa Cándida. Next, let’s head to an amazing place, the Benicarló City Museum (MUCBE). This museum, located in a unique building, the former San Francisco Convent, has exhibits on many fascinating archaeological sites.

End your first day exploring what to see in Benicarló heading to the marina and fishing port. Stroll here as the sun sinks beyond the Mediterranean. There is no experience quite like it!

What to do in Benicarló: day 2

On your second day, we suggest you visit the beaches of Benicarló and its coastal region. You'll love its seafaring spirit! For example, you can start at the Almacén de la Mar municipal cultural centre and continue on to San Pedro Apóstol Parish Church.

Then, when the sun is at its highest, relax upon the sand. The urban beaches of Gurugú, Morrongo o Caracola have services and a wide range of restaurants, while La Mar Xica and Fondalet have a more natural feel.

If you prefer more of a nature-based plan, you can end your weekend in Benicarló by discovering its ancient olive trees, or the landscapes of Basseta del Bovalar and the mouth of the Rambla de Alcalà or Barranquet, two charming wetlands.

Oh, and don't leave without booking a visit to the archaeological site of Puig de la Nao. Here you can explore the remains of an Iberian settlement atop a small mountain. Enjoy discovering what to see in Benicarló in two days!
