If you're looking for the ideal time to enjoy Benidorm without the summer crowds and with enviable weather, autumn is the answer.

Below, we offer a complete guide to travelling to Benidorm in autumn, including what the weather is like, what to expect, the best things to do and why this season is a favourite among thousands of visitors from across Europe.
Benidorm's Autumn Weather: What Temperatures Can You Expect?
One of the main questions travellers ask is whether it is still possible to go to the beach in autumn. The answer is a resounding yes.
- Average temperatures: Between September and October, Benidorm records maximum temperatures of around 24 °C to 28 °C, gradually dropping in November to around 19 °C - 21 °C.
- Sea temperature: The Mediterranean Sea retains the heat accumulated throughout the summer, keeping the water at an average temperature of 22 °C to 24 °C in September and October, making it ideal for swimming.

Main Benefits of Travelling to Benidorm in Autumn
1. Fewer crowds and greater comfort
With children returning to school and the summer holiday period coming to an end, tourist numbers naturally decrease. This means you can enjoy a comfortable stroll along the seafront, find a spot on the sand without having to get up early and get a table at the best venues without long waits.
2. An experience for all types of visitors
During autumn, Benidorm combines the energy of international tourism, particularly British and Central European visitors, with the more relaxed atmosphere of domestic tourists and weekend getaways, creating a cosmopolitan yet laid-back atmosphere.
3. Excellent value for money
Both accommodation and leisure options offer more attractive prices and availability than during the height of the peak season.
