Benidorm Upgrades Beach Facilities Ahead of Easter Tourist Surge

 

Benidorm / 4 April 2026

 

Authorities in Benidorm have completed a programme of upgrades and maintenance to public beach facilities, including the installation of a new accessible restroom module on Paseo de Colón, as the city prepares for the busy Easter holiday period.

 

The improvements, led by the city’s Public Space and Beaches departments, form part of Benidorm’s annual effort to ensure infrastructure is ready for the influx of both domestic and international visitors during Holy Week (Semana Santa) and the wider summer season.

 

New Accessible Facilities Installed

The previous restroom unit on Paseo de Colón has been fully replaced after reaching the end of its usable lifespan.

 

The new facility:

• Serves both men and women
• Is fully accessible for people with reduced mobility
• Includes features for visually impaired users, supported by tactile paving leading directly to the site

 

Local officials say the upgrade reflects a continued focus on accessibility and inclusive tourism.

 

Wider Refurbishment Across Beach Areas

Alongside the new installation, extensive maintenance work has been carried out across other public restroom modules serving Benidorm’s beaches.

 

Works included:

• Repairs to rusted and damaged structures
• Repainting of interiors and exteriors
• Replacement of broken dispensers and fittings
• General inspections to identify and resolve faults

 

Facilities in both the Levante and Poniente beach areas — including locations on Avenida de Xixo, Calle Murcia and Calle Ametlla de Mar — have been upgraded.

 

Ongoing Maintenance Programme

City officials confirmed that public restrooms are subject to weekly maintenance checks, with faults typically repaired within 24 hours.

 

Routine works include:

• Replacing taps, hoses and flush systems
• Fixing doors, locks and hinges
• Repairing flooring and water leaks
• Cleaning and repainting following graffiti removal
• Preparing for Peak Season

 

The improvements come as Benidorm enters one of its busiest periods of the year. Easter marks the start of the high tourist season on the Costa Blanca, with visitor numbers expected to rise sharply.

 

A spokesperson for the council said the goal is to ensure the city “offers the best possible image” to visitors, noting that these upgrades are part of a long-standing annual preparation strategy.

 

Benidorm remains one of Spain’s most popular coastal destinations, and local authorities continue to invest in infrastructure to maintain its reputation for clean, accessible and well-managed beaches.
