Coasteering

One of the lesser known but very exciting adventure activities available in Benidorm is Coasteering.

It is all part of the holiday experience, doing something we wouldn't usually do in our everyday lives. Benidorm is an excellent destination for all sorts of thrilling activities and adventure day's out, and for those that wish to combine an extreme sport with some healthy exercise, coasteering should definitely be on your holiday wish list.

What Is Coasteering?

Coasteering has been practised as an extreme sport since the early 1970's and involves a combination of swimming, rock climbing and cliff jumping. The best conditions for the sport are in what's known as the ”impact zone” where the coastline is very rugged and the waves crash against rocks, caves and gullies. The aim for coasteerers is to negotiate their way along these areas without venturing inland by climbing along rocks, through gullies, short periods of swimming and either diving or jumping off cliffs. Although some coasteering is extremely difficult and physically challenging, in many areas that aren't too rugged, the sport can be enjoyed by most people of all fitness levels.
