Benidorm in February
Around 12.5 °C by day, sea 14.6 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 of 5.
February in Benidorm is 12.5 °C by day and 14.6 °C in the sea, the low point of the year. That is six degrees colder than the Canaries in air and almost five in water in the same month.
Even so, February here is a working month rather than a dead one: load 3 out of 5, the same as in November and March. Winter liveability is 4 out of 5 — hotels, doctors, shops and buses all running. The gap with the resort villages along the Costa Blanca is at its widest in February: theirs drops to 1 or 2 and half their businesses close with it, while nothing closes here. If you want to test the promise that everything works in winter, test it in February.
