Benidorm in February
Around 12.5 °C by day, sea 14.6 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 5.
February in Benidorm is 12.5 °C by day and 14.6 °C in the sea, the coldest water of the year. For comparison, Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the same month has 19 °C by day and 19.5 °C in the sea.
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 difference from the resort villages along the Costa Blanca is in the people: in February load drops to 1 out of 5 in Calpe and 1 in Altea, while here it holds at 3. If you want to test the promise that everything works in winter, test it in February.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 40 rainy days a year, 67% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
